The French commune of Roussillon is located in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur, roughly midway between Avignon and Aix-en-Provence.
Ochre is also used as pigments to color houses, clothes, and bodies.
The ochre deposits provide a natural reddish-brown hue to the entire village.
Numerous quarries and ochre factories can still be seen today.
