![Ils s'engagent]()
The ochre industry in the Luberon was born in 1848 and stopped after the Second World War, when chemistry replaced natural pigments. In the meantime, thousands of local peasants became miners and worked to extract the red gold.
In the Luberon Natural Park, the Bruoux mine is a vestige of this industrial past. The gigantic vaults of the galleries evoke cathedrals. This journey underground takes the public to discover the geological riches buried under the Provencal landscape but also to meet the men who shaped the mine with pickaxes.
It is necessary to bring a little wool, even in hot weather, because in the galleries the temperature never exceeds 10°C.
