Keys facts about Roussillon
Local flavours
With local garlic, olive oil and Provençal herbs, you can savour food that really packs a punch around these parts. Don't miss rich cassoulet, creamy and cheesy aligot, and fresh oysters. Got more of a sweet tooth? Leave space for clafoutis, a sweet eggy pudding that melts in the mouth.
Flora and fauna
From flocks of flamingos in the marshland to the menagerie of marine life along the coast, there’s plenty of fauna to see. Add in rolling vineyards, ochre-tinged cliffs and pine-scented hills, and you’ve got a landscape that’s as colourful and diverse as the creatures who call it home.
Adventures for all
Keeping boredom at bay is easy here! You’ll find everything from water sports and hillside hikes, to ancient monasteries and colourful village markets where kids can snack on pastries while grown-ups sip local wine. Days are packed, sunny and never short of something new to discover.
