Set aside some time for a visit!
Don't hesitate to stay a while longer. Roussillon is well worth it! You can visit the ochre route winding through the former open-cast quarries and the woodlands. It offers you a 30- to 50-minute stroll. Ideally explored in the morning for the best light.
Also wander through the village. Of course, the facades are yellow, orange and red - this is because local residents built their homes using the area's local sand: ochrous sand.
Explore these narrow streets - lively places - until you reach the highest point of the village, the location of an ancient castrum where a viewpoint indicator is to be found. You'll be thrilled with the visit.
