Located in the heart of one of the world’s largest ochre deposits, Roussillon is famous for the magnificent red cliffs in the heart of the Luberon Valley, surrounded by the lush green pinetrees and the vivid blue Provençal sky.
With so much beauty, it is no wonder that so many artists made Roussilon their home.
The village of Roussillon is incredibly charming, with a maze of narrow cobblestoned streets and small squares, lined by houses in all shades of ochre, from bright yellow to dark red, with brightly colored doors and shutters. Climb one of the narrow steep streets to the Castrum for the magnificent view. The village is part of the Parc Naturel Régional du Lubéron.
