Bed and breakfasts in Orange, Roman theatre and Rhône vineyards
Orange, Roman city in Provence
Orange is the great gateway to Provence in the center of the Rhône Valley, about thirty kilometers to the north of Avignon. But do not let its relatively modest size deceive you, this subprefecture of Vaucluse hides an exceptional historical heritage dating back to Julius Caesar himself.
The Roman Theater of Orange
Founded under the name Arausio by Julius Caesar, Orange was once a flourishing Roman colony, populated by veterans of the legions who conquered Gaul. Today, the first witness to this glorious past is the magnificent Roman Theater of Orange, considered to be the best-preserved Roman amphitheater.
Every summer, the Chorégies of Orange transform this theater into a magical place where lyrical melodies resonate, offering visitors an unforgettable cultural experience.
The Triumphal Arch
Just a few steps away, you will discover another ancient treasure: an exceptionally preserved Roman Triumphal Arch, which attests to the past grandeur of the city and the glory of the conquering legions.
Orange, a princely city
The history of Orange does not end with the Roman era. It was a principality in the Middle Ages until it was annexed by the Kingdom of France in the early 18th century, and the title of Prince of Orange is still held by the royal family of the Netherlands.
A Green Haven on Sainte-Eutrope Hill
For a more peaceful getaway, head towards Sainte-Eutrope Hill, a green haven in the heart of the city. Walk through this wooded park and soak in the serenity of the place. The heights offer a splendid panoramic view towards the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont-Ventoux all the way to the Cevennes.
The Wine Fair of Orange: A Oenological Event:
For wine lovers, Orange is the ideal stop to discover the best wines of the Rhône Valley. Every year, the Wine Fair of Orange attracts connoisseurs from all over the world, offering a unique opportunity to taste exceptional wines and discover the wine treasures of the region, including the prestigious AOCs Chateauneuf-du-Pape on the nearby hill and Gigondas.
Far from just being a stopover town, Orange hides invaluable treasures in its history and terroir that offer visitors a memorable stop on their journey through Provence.
