Rousillon-Provence
Another day, another outing. To Rousillon. Rousillon is known for its ochre. Rich rusty-brown ochres are evident in both the soil and the buildings of the village itself. Rousillon is a thriving medieval township with many opportunities for the tourist to sample local produce (the wines,) or to sit at one of the many restaurants and simply soak in the atmosphere. Parking is very good so it is one of the better locations that we have visited. The paid parking system ensures quality access to the sites allowing the tourist to enjoy the offerings without th
e stress of locating a parking spot. Souvenir shoops are plentiful but not in a negative way. Tasteful galleries abound in Rousillon. I noticed a water point dated 1353 so I am not sure about the age of the village other than that signage. Like all towns of its type it has long windy passageways, many steps and narrow roads but is well worth taking time to step inside the town's centre.
