Visitors to Roussillon can hike the Sentier des Ocres, the Ochre Trail, through the old quarry surrounded by pine forest. It’s a 30-minute walk (or a longer 60-minute loop) but the weather on the day of our visit was exceptionally hot.

I chose instead to wander the pedestrian lanes of this picturesque village. Roussillon must have the prettiest mairie, town hall, in all of France! And the rest of the buildings were equally photo worthy.
Provence is blessed with an abundance of charming villages perchés and Roussillon, painted in the sunset hues of ochre, is surely one of the most unique.
