Discover the village of Rougon

Hanging on to a rocky peak rising out of stony ground and lavender bushes, the village of Rougon overlooks the entrance to the grand canyon of the Verdon gorges.

Situated a bit away from the main road D952, going through Point Sublime, Rougon offers a peaceful setting far from the smoke and noise of the big cities.
It is a typical little Provençal village complete with narrow streets and houses built in traditional materials.

From the ruins of its castle, there is a wonderful view of the Point Sublime which truly deserves its name.
