Holiday rental Roussillon and its Ochres: a colourful village
Explore the picturesque village of Roussillon in the Vaucluse. Stay in one of our Clévacances-selected gîtes or chambres d'hôtes for an immersive experience in the heart of the Luberon.
Roussillon: A burst of colour in the heart of the Vaucluse
Perched in the Luberon, Roussillon stands out for its impressive ochre cliffs that frame the village in flamboyant colours. This unique natural site, often compared to a painter's palette, makes Roussillon one of the "most beautiful villages in France". With Clévacances, immerse yourself in exploring this village where art and nature meet in harmony.
A Unique Natural Landscape
Roussillon is famous for its ochre quarries, geological formations rich in natural pigments that have long been used in the manufacture of paints. The Sentier des Ocres offers a fascinating walk through these formations, with paths winding between cliffs and pine forests, offering spectacular views of shades ranging from yellow to deep red.
Culture and Heritage
Beyond its natural landscape, Roussillon is rich in history and culture. The village itself is a maze of narrow streets lined with traditional Provencal houses tinted by the many shades of ochre. A visit to the Conservatoire des Ocres et de la Pigmenterie offers a fascinating insight into the village's mining history and its impact on local art and architecture.
Art, Craft and Gastronomy
Roussillon is a magnet for artists and craftspeople. Art galleries and workshops abound, offering a range of creations inspired by the chromatic richness of the place. Stroll through the village and you'll find shops selling pottery, textiles and original works of art. Gastronomy is not to be outdone, with restaurants celebrating local produce such as Luberon truffles, cherries and honey flavoured with Provencal herbs.
