Discover Roussillon

Roussillon stands on a height above the Calavon valley, facing the Luberon. The village owes much of its identity to the ochre quarries that shaped the ground, the façades and the paths around it.

A village shaped by ochre

The red, yellow and orange tones are not just decorative. They come from a former activity of extracting and processing pigments. In the streets, coloured renders extend this link between the village and its terrain.

The conservatory of ochre and colour

Ôkhra, set in the former Mathieu ochre factory, explains the work behind the pigments: washing, settling, drying, grinding and later uses in colour. The visit gives depth to the landscape by connecting the site’s colours to an artisanal and industrial history.

Paths and nearby villages

Around the village, paths cross ochre cliffs, pine woods and open views towards Mont Ventoux. Roussillon also combines easily with Gordes, Bonnieux, Apt and the other Luberon villages.

A place to visit at the right pace

Roussillon is busy in season. Staying in or near the village makes it possible to enjoy the streets before day visitors arrive, take time for a market or a terrace, and return by the smaller Luberon roads.

Planning your stay around Roussillon

What is the best time to stay in Roussillon ?

Roussillon is superb in summer, when the ochres take on their full intensity in the Provençal light. Spring and autumn offer a gentler visit, with comfortable walking temperatures and quieter villages.

Summer is lively but busier, so it is best to visit early in the morning or later in the day. Staying in a guest house nearby gives you more freedom than a quick daytime stop.

Where to stay around Roussillon to explore the ochre country ?

Roussillon is a practical base for discovering the ochre landscapes of the Luberon, from Gargas to Rustrel, while remaining close to the hilltop villages of the massif.

The areas around Gordes, Bonnieux and Apt, Ménerbes and Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt combine villages, markets, footpaths and scenic roads.

What to do in and around Roussillon ?

A stay around Roussillon can combine village walks, natural pigments and excursions across the Luberon.
