Roussillon

The beautiful poppies grow everywhere. Ella with bunches of lavender

Ochre cliffs





We went to the village of Rousillon this afternoon. It was a beautiful day for wandering around cute villages.
The ochre cliffs next to the village were amazing. Millions of years ago the whole area was a sea which explains the shapes and colours of the cliffs. We walked along Sentier des Ocres through beautiful rainforest. It was gorgeous.
After the walk we wandered through the narrow streets of the village and took a few photos. The whole village is built in the colours of the ochre - orangey redy brown colours. Just lovely.
