Slow down and savor the aroma of Provence ⸻ 🎒 Tips • Opening hours: Tickets are required for the red clay trail, so go in the morning to avoid traffic jams; the opening hours of the museum and church are slightly different, so it is recommended to check in advance. • Dressing suggestions: It is recommended to wear non-slip and comfortable shoes, as the gravel on the trail is slippery; the summer sun is strong, so you need to bring sunglasses, sunscreen and water. • Transportation suggestions: It is more convenient to drive by yourself. There are parking lots in the village, but the number is limited. It is recommended to arrive early. • Seasonal suggestions: Spring to early autumn (April-September) is the most recommended, and the lavender fields and red rocks are intertwined in late summer, with the most colorful colors. ⸻ ✅ Summary This one-day trip to the Red Earth City allows you to deeply experience the most intense "land color" of Provence: from the red rock landforms on the trail, the stone houses in the ancient village, the local food and mining history, to the gallery and afternoon tea time, it has both the depth of the scenery and the texture of culture. It is definitely worth arranging a one-day slow trip.
