Red earth, vines and microchips
Rousset takes its name from the colour of its red marl soils. The village backs onto the Cengle plateau on the southern flank of Sainte-Victoire and looks over vines and olive trees running down to the River Arc. Around 250 growers make rosé and red wines here under the Côtes-de-provence, Sainte-Victoire and Palette appellations. Across the A8, the industrial park, now more than fifty years old, hosts over 130 companies, with STMicroelectronics as its cornerstone.
About 33 minutes via the A8
Rousset is 42 km from Marseille Provence Airport, roughly 33 minutes by car. The A8 and the RN7 both run through the commune, and the nearest motorway junction is 4 km away at Châteauneuf-le-Rouge. The indicative vehicle price includes tolls and luggage: €67 Eco, €80 Sedan, €111 8-seater van, day or night. Your driver follows your flight and waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, with the first hour free.
Village or industrial park?
The motorway separates the village from the industrial park, which also spreads into Peynier and Fuveau, so for a business trip give the company name and exact address. For a stay among the vines, enter the estate’s address. Your return to the airport is booked at the same price, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Puyloubier and Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon are neighbours.
Good to know about Rousset
In 1930 a farmer found fossil eggshell in his field, revealing a rich late Cretaceous egg site; 106 hectares, open only to researchers, are now a nature reserve. The Saint-Privat chapel, first recorded in 1079, dates in its present form from the 12th century. A Roman milestone from the year 146, the Pierre d’Antonin, was found here in 1889.
