Roussillon is a Provençal village in the Luberon, known for its red and orange façades and the colourful landscapes around it. The lanes of the old town climb between ochre-coloured houses, small squares and viewpoints over the countryside. The village suits travellers who like to combine walks, heritage and scenery, with visits to neighbouring villages rather than a stay focused solely on the town.

The Ochre Trail crosses former quarries and showcases the mineral colours that have shaped local history; it is 2.2 km away. The ôkhra eco-museum, housed in a former ochre factory, tells the story of these pigments and how they are made; it is 2.1 km away. Roussillon village is 2.5 km away, while Gordes, with its stone lanes and castle, is 9 km away. A car makes it easier to explore the Luberon, where villages, markets and natural sites are scattered across the countryside.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walks and visits to the villages, with temperatures often pleasant for exploring the trails. In summer, the days are hot and the landscapes dry; it is best to plan walks for early morning or late afternoon. In late June and July, lavender fields add colour to several parts of the Luberon. You can spend a day walking the Ochre Trail, visiting the old village and stopping in another Provençal village before returning to the swimming pool and garden.
