Raise your eyes! on the colors of Roussillon
The village of Roussillon and its ochre trail are known internationally. Ranked among "the most beautiful villages in France", it receives more than 400,000 visitors every year. But as Hélène, 92, a former grocer and one of the village’s deans put it so well: "people pass by and no longer look, it’s a bit sad". For the inhabitants who live all year round, this summer tidal wave of visitors is a constraint, but also a chance. It is a chance because the houses have stories to tell to those who know how to listen to them: the house of the winemaker sports a bunch of grapes, the house of Elie modest as it is, has small micas that shine in the sun afternoon, the house of the stonemason has a cornice of dressed stone and not tiles... Let’s look up and let the houses of Roussillon speak!!
