The area
 |
Located in the heart of the biggest ochre quarries, Roussillon is one of the most beautiful villages of the Luberon. You should see the incredible colours of the landscape: the mix of red, yellow and brown contrasts with the green of the verdant pinewood. The whole nature blazes under the amazing azure blue of Provence sky. Light is incredible. This magical site looks like the palette of an artist.
Not to be missed: the Ochre Path and the Ochre and Applied Pigments Conservatory. |
To visit: the medieval village of Gordes and its famous village of the bories (drystone huts), listed as an historical monument in 1977. The ancient village of Oppède-le-Vieux, Lacoste and the ruins of the castle of De Sade, Bonnieux, Menerbes, Lourmarin and Rustrel, known as “Le Colorado Provençal”. |
