Roussillon, the village of ochres and flamboyant landscapes

Welcome to Roussillon, one of the most beautiful villages in France, known for its spectacular ochre cliffs, colorful houses and typical Provencal atmosphere. Nestled in the heart of the Luberon, it offers a natural spectacle of rare beauty.

A colorful village
Roussillon is famous for its Sentier des Ocres, a magical walk through a landscape of cliffs in shades ranging from yellow to flamboyant red. This unique setting is due to the exploitation of the ochre quarries, which have marked the history of the village. The village center, with its picturesque alleys, shaded squares and colorful facades, invites you to stroll. The Belfry and the Saint-Michel church, perched on the heights, offer a magnificent view of the Luberon valley. Don't miss a visit to the Conservatoire des Ocres, where you can discover the secrets of the manufacture of natural pigments used in painting and decoration.

Spectacular nature in the heart of the Luberon
Roussillon is surrounded by an exceptional landscape. Hikers will appreciate the Luberon trails, which cross pine forests and lavender fields, offering breathtaking panoramas. Photography lovers will not miss the Colorado Provençal, a few kilometers away, a natural site similar to a western setting with its rock formations sculpted by erosion.

Provençal cuisine with sunny flavors
The local specialties are a treat for the taste buds: pistou soup, Luberon goat cheeses and Ventoux wines are perfect for a great evening.
