Scenic viewpoint, Viewpoint in Roussillon, France
The observation terraces overlook expansive red earth landscapes and rock formations, creating a natural display of yellow to deep red mineral colors.
During the 19th century, this location stood at the center of ochre mining operations, when the Luberon region supplied natural pigments worldwide.
The geological features of Roussillon have shaped local architecture, with buildings incorporating ochre minerals extracted from the surrounding terrain.
The viewpoint provides two marked trails of different lengths to explore the landscape, with information panels explaining local geology and history.
The ochre cliffs surrounding the viewpoint contain up to 17 natural color variations, resulting from iron oxide deposits in the soil.
