Factory
The factory of Société des Ocres de France is situated in the heart of the town of Apt and dates from 1901. The original factory building has been carefully preserved, although the machinery has been modernized. It is here in the factory that the processing of the ochre is completed. After a period of drying out, the ochre is transported to the factory and off-loaded into special, deep storage compartments. The ochre is baked at very high temperatures, pulverized and packed into bags.
