Roussillon, located in the Vaucluse department of Provence, is famed for its stunning ochre cliffs and quarries, which provide a myriad of warm, earthy hues perfect for photography. Time your visit during early morning or late afternoon for the best lighting that enhances the rich colors. The Sentier des Ocres (Ochre Trail) offers marked walking paths through ochre landscapes; wear old shoes, as the pigment can stain. The village itself, with its charming, narrow streets and ochre-colored buildings, offers a picturesque backdrop. The panoramic viewpoints at the top of the village provide sweeping vistas of the Luberon. Visit during summer to capture the vibrant lavender fields around the village.
