" Roussillon's local color...
Perched on a hillside in Provence between the towns of Gordes and Apt, the village of Roussillon is a splendid example of how you can really paint the town red. The tall ochre cliffs, which surround it, have provided the village with an astonishing palette of natural pigments that found their way into the mortar and plaster of the houses. Their complexions vary from a becoming blush to a sunburned red, from a golden glow to a burnished bronze--sixteen shades in all--tempered by the Provencal sun..."
