A ranking based on traveler experience #
The ranking of the most welcoming towns in France is established from over 360 million verified reviews by users of the Booking platform. At the top of this list, Roussillon stands out not only for the beauty of its landscapes but also for the attention it pays to its visitors. Tourists appreciating the restaurants, amenities, and the friendly atmosphere of the town have largely contributed to this recognition.
The natural assets of Roussillon #
Roussillon, with its sublime ochre landscapes, is nestled between cliffs and pines, creating an almost surreal setting. The cobblestone streets of the town are surrounded by houses in warm tones, adding to the picturesque charm of the place. Visitors do not miss heading to the famous Ochre Path, an emblematic trail that allows exploration of the geological richness of the region, marked by shades of rich reds and ochres that fascinate all explorers.
A dynamic town despite seasonal challenges #
Although Roussillon is undoubtedly the warmest town during the summer months, it faces some challenges throughout the year. Many businesses close their doors in the off-season, reducing the vibrancy of the village. While tourists are always warmly welcomed, some sectors struggle to remain open year-round, a point noted by both regulars and new visitors. For example, restaurants and bakeries often close during the winter months, calling for increased revitalization during these times.
The feelings of visitors #
Testimonials from visitors to Roussillon are often commendable. Many holidaymakers, like Bruno, a Parisian, speak of an enriching emotional experience: “When you see this kind of cliff in ochre color, it’s magical, with the greenery of the pines.” These feelings of wonder, authenticity, and human warmth are reflected in the compiled reviews that led to the town being recognized in this ranking. Roussillon is described as an endearing and impressive place that stays in memory long after the visit.
