At the top of the village, the Saint Michel church and its frontage dated from the 17 century is located near a cliff where you can admire a sumptuous panoramic view on the landscapes of Provence.

 

You can also discover the remarkable Ocher Trail (sentiers des ocres) with its colors from yellow to purple which tell us that Ocher has been used since prehistoric times, and was mined by the Romans during the era of the Roman settlement of Provence. However, ocher only became a widespread, industrial product in the late 18th century when Roussillon native Jean-Etienne Astier put forward the idea of ​​washing the ochre-laden sands to extract the pure pigment. Today, though natural ocher faces strong competition from synthetic pigments, it remains unrivaled for use in certain applications.

 

 In Roussillon you can also learn about the industrial history of ochre in the area by visiting the Ocher and Color Conservatory “ Conservatoire des ocres et de la couleurs ” in the former Mathieu factory whom offer tours, classes and information regarding the use of ochre.
