Roussillon

.

THIS IMAGE NEEDS TO BE VIEWED LARGE

 

Roussillon, set on a hill between the mountains of the Vaucluse and the Luberon in Provence, is considered among the most beautiful villages in France

 

The village is notable for the colours of the buildings, resulting from the ochre used in their render.

 

The village has seduced many artists. The narrow lanes house art galleries, craftspeople and some very good restaurants. This is one of the old civic buildings in the centre of the village.
