The ocre-red village of Roussillon, one of the 'Plus Beaux Villages of France' is a popular tourist destination just a short drive from Saint Saturnin Les apt.
Roussillon is a beautiful village, with its red rocks, red stone buildings and red tile roofs.
Roussillon is lovely from the outside, set in a deep green pine forest on bright red-ocre hills. Roussillon is even more spectacular inside the village, with the colorful old buildings and narrow medieval streets. The village center is fairly small, so wandering the streets to discover the many lovely sites doesn't take very long. Take enough time for a beer or coffee in the square and watch life go by.
Head to the top by past the church where there are great views of Mont Ventoux and take the walk into the Sentier des Ocres to get a real flavour of the colours of the ground and formations.
