The Ancient Theater of Orange
Built on the side of a hill, the Roman Theater of Orange is one of the best preserved in the world. Its stage hosts the Chorégies d’Orange every year, a world-renowned international opera festival. The imposing exterior wall, 35 meters high, offers a different physiognomy when you visit the interior of the theatre.
The Saint-Europe Hill Park
A green lung in the center of the city, the Parc de la Colline Saint-Europe offers a haven of greenery. It also conceals many treasures, including a statue of the Virgin, built in the 19th century, and houses the former residence of the Princes of Orange. Playgrounds and panoramic spaces also brighten up your family outing.
The Arc de Triomphe
Roman cities used to build these monumental arches to pay homage to victorious armies. At the gates of the ancient city of Orange, the Arc de Triomphe continues to rise up in the Provençal sky almost 2000 years after its construction.
The Museum of Art and History of Orange
In the heart of the city, this museum occupies a former mansion intended for the person in charge of ammunition at the Château des Princes. Its different rooms tell the story of the city, and house many sometimes unusual objects.
