Rustrel, Rural commune in Vaucluse, France
Located between the Luberon and Vaucluse Mountains, Rustrel extends across 2,826 hectares of diverse landscapes featuring valleys, hills, and Mediterranean vegetation.
The 16th century castle, now serving as the town hall, was constructed under the direction of the Dukes of Levis Ventadour, with a sundial dating from 1626.
The Saint Julian Priory, built upon Roman ruins in the 12th century, stands in the Doa Valley alongside three historic water fountains and washing places.
The commune maintains several marked hiking trails through the former ochre quarries, which were extensively mined between 1880 and 1950.
The geological formations created by ochre mining earned the area the nickname French Colorado, displaying red and yellow cliffs against the green landscape.
