The ocre-red village of Roussillon, one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France, is a tourist destination on the southern edge of the Plateau de Vaucluse. 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.

Towards the top of Roussillon you reach the Church of Saint-Michel and a viewpoint with far-reaching views in all directions over the surrounding countryside.
