Les Ocres de Bedoin

The Ochre Massif, a classified and protected territory, is an integral part of the Regional Natural Park, the UNESCO Global Geopark, and the Biosphere Reserve. The exceptional colors of this unusual mineral landscape are due to iron oxide, which colors the cliffs in various shades, from yellow to violet, including red and orange. Near the hamlet of Les Baux, a few kilometers from the center of Bédoin, a beautiful bucolic walk awaits you in the ochres of the 'Demoiselles Coiffées' (the Hooded Ladies). Embark on a discovery!
