Park in the car park at the south-western entrance to the village, at the top of the road to Gordes (car parks in Roussillon are pay-and-display in summer).
This walk passes through private property; the owners allow access to walkers, so please respect the area.
(S/E) On leaving the car park, turn right onto Rue des Bourgades and walk through the village until you reach Avenue de la Burlière.
(1) Turn right and stay on the avenue until you reach the junction with Route de Goult.
(2) Turn left onto the avenue, which becomes Avenue Jean Étienne Astier (towards Bonnieux). Pass the Saint-Joseph car park. At the roundabout, follow the D104 towards Murs Gordes and Aix-en-Provence.
(3) At numbers 400, 402, 404 and 406, turn onto the dirt track on the right, between the houses. When you reach the road, turn left onto Chemin des Marquets. The tarmac road turns into a dirt track. Continue. The track narrows and descends to the left.
(4) The track splits. Leave the path leading uphill, which is strewn with stones, and take the track descending to the right. Stay on the dirt track. You’ll come to a track serving several houses. Follow this track downhill, keeping straight ahead, until you reach the road.
Turn right.
(5) Cross the junction to head towards the hamlet of Les Huguets. At the Les Huguets signpost, head towards Goult. In the hamlet, stay on the left-hand track and follow the Chemin des Plaines.
(6) Just before the Saint-Sers Sud signpost, turn right onto the straight dirt track, running alongside the cypress hedge. At the junction, turn right.
(7) You’ll reach the road at Savone; cross it and continue along the dirt track opposite. The road climbs. After the stone cottage, at the junction, turn right, following the yellow markings. Stay on the yellow markings (main path, initially a dirt track then tarmac), ignoring the paths branching off to the left and right, until you reach the D104.
(8) Continue right onto the D104, then turn left onto Chemin de la Garenne (still marked with yellow signs). At the top of Chemin de la Garenne, ignore the yellow markings heading right and continue straight ahead. The road turns into a path and heads off to the right. Admire the village of Roussillon and the ochre cliffs in the distance.
Rejoin Chemin de la Garenne a little further down and turn left. Continue straight on along Route de Goult, then along Avenue Jean Etienne Astier. Return to the junction you passed on the way out.
(2) Continue along the D105 to Roussillon. After passing the ochre cliffs, carry on straight ahead to visit the village.
(1) Walk up to the castle and stroll through the village’s colourful streets.
Head back down, taking the Passage du Mistral or Rue des Lauriers, to the village car park (S/E).
