Sentier Des Ocres


There is a Provence hiking trail called Sentier des Ocres where the sandstone is banded in amazing shades of red, yellow, white and orange. The sandstone has eroded over the years and leaves the pathway covered in red-orange sand. As for me, I left with sneakers full of red-orange sand and orange toes on my white athletic socks. The path is lined with lush pines, chestnuts and wild flowers and is an easy hike from the parking area, providing some very dramatic and colorful views.
