Located in Provence roughly midway between Avignon and Aix-en-Provence, Roussillon is a magical village surrounded by red cliffs and ochre quarries.
Ochres are natural pigments ranging from yellow and orange to red that has been used as paint since prehistoric times.
The ochre deposits provide a natural reddish-brown hue to the village.
Roussillon is classified as one the most beautiful villages in France.

All wonderful, but I love especially the architectural geometrics. Ready to frame and mount on the wall.
I keep trying to figure out why these small French villages are so much more colorful, picturesque, appealing, attractive than our small New England town, and find so many reasons I get discouraged, and just stop thinking about it. I trust you realize every moment how lucky you are to be doing what you’re doing, where you are doing it!
