Roussillon is a village in the Luberon, recognisable by its houses with ochre façades in shades of red, orange and yellow. Narrow streets follow the contours of the village and open onto views of the surrounding hills. Visitors come to wander through the streets, discover the colours of Provençal architecture and explore landscapes shaped by ochre extraction. It is a lively village, with a calmer pace outside the summer season.

The Ochre Trail crosses former quarries, with a marked route where you can observe the colourful formations. The village is also home to the belfry, Saint-Michel Church and the Roussillon Olive Oil Mill. To discover more, ôkhra, the Ochre Ecomuseum, tells the story of this resource and its uses. Nearby villages such as Gordes, Joucas and Goult offer more walks through the Luberon's stone-built landscapes. The surrounding paths are well suited to hiking and cycling; a car makes it easier to explore the villages and natural sites.

Spring and autumn are good times for walks, with often milder temperatures and quieter paths than in the height of summer. In summer, it is best to set off early to walk the ochre trails and save the hottest hours for a village visit or a break in the shade. In late June and July, lavender fields colour several Luberon landscapes. A day can combine a walk around Roussillon, a route through the former quarries and a visit to another Provençal village.
