The Rustrel Canyon is a landmark of dramatic natural beauty.
This exceptional site in the Provence is the result of extreme climatic changes
that took place100 million years ago.
During the 19th and 20th century Rustrel was a lively industrial spot thanks to
its steel and terracotta riches.Visiting the Rustrel Canyon you will still find
remains of this industry.
Rustrel's last washing basins for terracotta closed in 1990. The mysterious
terracotta landscape replete with canyons calls to be explored to discover
magic places like " the fairies' chimneys" and " Crossing of the Sahara".
Roussillon is a fairy tale village full of inspiring colours.
In Roussillon, one of the most beautiful villages of France, you shouldn't miss
the "Terracotta Trail", a pleasant walk through stunning nature.
We recommend the museum (former factory MATTHIEU) to those who are interested
in more elaborated details.
Roussillon with its unique charm is worth a stroll to see the different shades
of terracotta on the houses changing in the evening sun.
Terracotta is used by designers to create very elegant atmospheres.
