The village of Roussillon is most popularly known as the village where Samuel Beckett stayed with his partner Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil from 1942 to 1945 during World War II. But the ochre hills around Roussillon have long been exploited commercially, one site has been listed and is open as an attraction. Here natural geographical shapes mix with shapes that have been formed by exploitation, and some structures have exotic names such as Cheminées des fées, Cirque des aiguilles and Chaussée des géants. Two trails exist, of different lengths and merging into each other. It is quite a spectacular sight.
