The Ôkhra ocher EcoMuseum occupies a former ocher processing site, the Camille Mathieu factory. Abandoned in the 1950s, it has been rehabilitated to become a place of history and discovery…

When we talk about ocher, we cannot fail to mention France. And in particular, one of its most characteristic regions: French Provence. There is the Luberon, the heart of Provence and the last active Ocher quarry, located in Gargas, in the center of Luberon. And its iconic village, Roussillon.
