Roussillon is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
Roussillon lies within the borders of the Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon. In the French natural regional parks, new economic activities may be developed only if they are sustainable.
It is noted for its large ochre deposits found in the clay surrounding the village. Ochres are pigments ranging from yellow and orange to red. One of the former ochre quarries can be visited via the 'Sentier des Ocres' (Ochre Path), a walk of either 30 or 60 minutes through the old workings.

We rented our kayaks right on the calanque called Port miou. The lady is very nice two place kayaks are 40 euros each for half a day of kayaking (4 hours)

thats normally more than enough to get to the next calanque which is the prettiest and have lunch

watch this next video to see how it is
