Roussillon

Roussillon is a hill top village in Southern France. Well known for its red ochre rock formations, the area attracts tourists in droves during the hot summer months.

The tiny village was horrible to drive through. Approaching on foot was not an option. The narrow roads and tourists wandering around the car made our arrival in the beautiful village a touch frantic at times. Just parking the car was a great relief.

Roussillon is pretty and does a good job of marketing itself but other villages in the area were just as enjoyable and less trafficked.
