The ocher rocks offer a very special play of colors from rich yellow to warm orange to bright red. The ocher industry once flourished here, today you can explore the bizarre rocky landscape on a bike tour or hike.

The bold colors of the rock are mesmerizing and the site just as picturesque.

Hiking
Roussillon, with its paths through its ochre quarries, its colorful houses, its views of Mont Ventoux and the surrounding area, its small shops, and its market, is one of the most photogenic villages imaginable.
The many visitors are not mistaken.
Be careful not to confuse the village of Roussillon with the Roussillon region.
