Carriage Ride
Welcome to the LUBERON!
We invite you to share a romantic, friendly and dazzling moment, aboard a 12-seater carriage, you will experience a real journey through time, through small Provencal countryside paths.
You will travel through the Luberon Regional Natural Park in a carriage, at the pace of the horses, to meet a unique heritage: the ochres of Roussillon.
The ochres are the result of an original geological formation, which began more than 230 million years ago, giving a land with unique Red and Gold colors, which dresses the Luberon mountain, with a silky and shimmering adornment.
The natural formation of ochre and its use by man will no longer be a secret to you.
You will explore how ochres are extracted and you will visit settling basins.
