Pick-up

The route
The driver takes the A7 to Cavaillon, crosses the Luberon plain and climbs to Roussillon via the Goult road.
Arriving in Roussillon
Village and ochre trail
The driver drops you at the village car park, a few minutes’ walk from the start of the trail.
Gordes nearby
Gordes is a quarter of an hour away: with a driver at your disposal, both villages can be visited on the same day.
The ochres of Roussillon from the port
For a shore excursion, give us your all-aboard time: the driver sets the departure time from the site with a margin for traffic and brings you back to the terminal in time.
With about 3 hours of driving there and back, Roussillon suits calls of 8 hours or more. For a shorter call, Cassis or Aix-en-Provence are closer.
The Colorado of the Luberon
Roussillon’s ochre trail crosses red, orange and yellow cliffs sculpted by ochre mining, and the colourful village overlooks the valley. For a call, Roussillon combines with Gordes, a quarter of an hour away, with a driver at your disposal. Wear closed shoes and bring water: ochre sticks to soles and in summer the trail, with little shade, is hot.
For photographers
The finest light on the cliffs is in late afternoon, but cruise calls often require a return before 5 pm. In the morning the colours are softer and the trail quieter, so set off right after disembarkation. At the edge of the village, the former ochre works, now a conservatory, show how the earth was washed, settled and dried into pigment.
