But beyond the stunning views, it's the warm atmosphere and the hospitality of the locals that truly make a difference. In this village where time seems to stand still, visitors are invited to explore the famous Ochre Trail, a magical stroll through a canyon filled with vibrant colors.
A lively village… especially in summer
While Roussillon shines with its welcoming vibe and authenticity, some shopkeepers do have a slightly different take on this distinction. Most agree that Roussillon really sparkles during the summer season. Off-season, the village struggles with a lack of open shops, due to the absence of residents and tourists.
