Roussillon
Situated in the Luberon, at the foot of the Monts de Vaucluse, the village of Roussillon is surrounded by beautiful countryside. It is considered one of the most impressive villages in France.
Situated in the heart of one of the biggest ocher deposits in the world, Roussillon is famous for its magnificent red cliffs and ocher quarries.
The red, yellow and brown shades of the earth form a striking contrast with the lush green pinetrees. The vivid blue of the Provençal sky and the exceptional quality of light make this a magical site.

You like wine, let me take you for a wine tasting at -Maison de la Truffe et du Vin
It’s the centre of knowledge and information about truffles and the wines of the Luberon Regional Park. Here, novices and professionals meet to exchange opinions, knowledge, and information.
The cellars contain an oenothèque which groups together all the wine producers of the geographical area of the Parc du Luberon - the appellations AOC Luberon, Ventoux and Pierrevert.
