Roussillon is a Provençal village in the Luberon, famous for the red and orange hues of its façades and the surrounding ochre cliffs. Its lanes, little squares and tightly packed houses on the hillside are easy to explore on foot. The village suits travellers who enjoy combining heritage, distinctive landscapes and walks through countryside of vineyards, orchards and hills. The colours of the stone change throughout the day and are especially striking when the light falls on the old quarries.

The Ochre Trail, 800 m away, crosses a former extraction site and offers a marked route through the colourful terrain. At 1.5 km, ôkhra - Écomusée de l'Ocre explores the history of ochre and its extraction. The Belfry and Saint-Michel Church can be discovered while strolling through the village. Gordes, 7 km away, is another hilltop village in the Luberon, known for its stone houses and château. The Village of the Bories, 8 km away, brings together rural buildings made of dry stone. A car makes it easier to visit the villages and sites scattered around the region; Marseille-Provence Airport is 50 km away.

Spring and the shoulder seasons are well suited to walks through the villages and visits to the ochre landscapes, with temperatures generally milder than in the height of summer. In summer, plan walks for early morning or late afternoon and leave time for breaks in the shade. A day could combine the trail, a visit to the village and an excursion to Gordes or the dry-stone buildings. Provençal markets and vineyard landscapes also offer the chance to discover local produce throughout the seasons.
