Balade dans les carrières d’ocre du Lubéron, d’abord sur celles dites de la bruyère au-dessus du village de Villars, puis dans celles beaucoup plus touristiques dites du Colorado de Rustrel. Le sentier des ocres de la bruyère parcourt un affleurement de terres colorées au milieu des calcaires provençaux dans une végétation variée, colorée et odorante en ce milieu de printemps, avec notamment de beaux parterres de cystes à feuilles de sauge. Les carrières d’ocre visibles en contrebas du chemin de crête ne sont pas situées le long du chemin principal, et c’est au prix d’une descente peu commode dans la forêt de pins et de chênes pubescents qu’on les atteint. Un effort méritoire, puisque ces carrières abandonnées et absolument pas aménagées pour le tourisme présentent une belle section de ravines multicolores sculptées en courbes et lames par l’érosion hydrique. C’est aussi beau que ce que l’on peut voir dans le Colorado provençal de Rustrel situé à quelques kilomètres, mais infiniment moins fréquenté !

les carrières, abandonnées mais en pleine extension...
les magnifiques ocres de la bruyère, totalement désertes ce jour-là
dans le Colorado provençal de Rustrel, plus varié mais aussi plus fréquenté
