Move then on to Roussillon and observe all the different shades of the ochre by wandering along the Ochre Trail (entrance fee not included - 3€/adult) and the colored roads of the village.

Both my wife and myself enjoyed the 8.5 hours journey despite under a temperature of over 40C during the afternoon. Veronica, our guide and driver, is excellent and enthusiastic. She not only talked about the characteristics of each hill top villages (4 visited that day) but also their geographic, historic and cultural aspects. The small van is comfortable for the 6 in the tour group with powerful air-conditioning. The 4 hill top villages chosen each has its distinct characteristic and very different to each other. The walk of the Ocre trail in Roussillon was quite special. I highly recommend this tour and the 8.5 hours will pass without any dull moment.
