Situated between Luberon Mountains and the plateau of Vaucluse, Roussillon is an unique village crowning a rocky outcrop surrounded by cliffs. Considered one of the most beautiful villages of France, it owes its location to being in the heart of the biggest ocher deposits in the world. It has been quarried here since prehistoric times. Chances are a large percentage of the art you've seen used ochre from here for the paint.
