Roussillon

Some of the Ocher cliffs used to mine pigment that is used in paint.

Note the colors of the walls and stones.  Lots of various shades of ocher.

Roof tiles are unique in Roussillon.

Path up to the church.

Pernes

The village of Perne is famous for it's wall and gates.  As many old villages this was their form of protection.  Inside the gates are many fountains.

We painted this view from this vantage point.
