Roussillon : In the heart of the Provence Ochres
Listed as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, Roussillon is famous for its ochre cliffs and flamboyantly coloured facades. A stroll through its winding streets is like being immersed in a living painting.
Here are a few must-sees:
The Ochre Trail
A unique walk through the old ochre quarries, offering a spectacle of natural colours ranging from yellow to red and brilliant shades of orange.
