The French Colorado of Rustrel -Part II
What is the ochre used for?
The ochre is used even today in the building industry for coloring coatings, tiled floors, tiles…the industrial and artistic paintings also use ochre.
More surprisingly, we also find ochre in cosmetic products (powder and make-ups) and even in the food (sausage skin, rind cheeses…)
The exploitation of the colorado has stopped today but the site is open to visitors.
