Activity itinerary

Parc de la Colline Saint-Eutrope (Pass by)

Here you have access to the Hill Saint-Eutrope, via its botanical promenade. Just follow the Julia Barthet climb that opens in front of you and will take you to the entrance of the stairs of the park.

Rue de l' Ancien Hôpital (Pass by)

The old hospital street leads you unsurprisingly to the entrance of the old Inn-Dieu. This hospice, dedicated to providing care to the poorest, was wanted by Maurice of Nassau, the son of William I of Orange.

Eglise Saint-Florent (Pass by)

This small Romanesque church of the 14th century is the former chapel of the Franciscans of Orange. It served as a burial place for many lords of Les Baux, who were one of the most powerful families in medieval Lower Provence.

Place des Frères Mounet (Pass by)

The pretty Place des Brothers Mounet spreads out its sunny terraces and invites you to linger there. It is named in honour of Jean and Paul Mounet, two brothers born in Bergerac in the 1840s, who became two prominent French actors of their time.

Place de la République (Pass by)

You arrive at Place de la République, a charming city centre square surrounded by cafes and restaurants. The statue, in the centre, is that of Raimbaud II of Orange, not to be confused with Arthur, our national poet!

Hotel de ville d'Orange (Pass by)

Here you are in the heart of the city. Place George Clémenceau was literally created to enjoy it! This dates back to the 14th century. The Prince of Orange had the new square designed, close to the church, so that the inhabitants of his town would have a place to gather and have a good time.

Grand Hôtel d'Orange, BW Signature Collection (Pass by)

Going up Victor Hugo Street, you will find on your right, the small Place de Langes, located at the back of the Town Inn. It was built on the site of the former walled garden and orangery of the Lubières Mansion Inn, when it was transformed into a town hall.

Catedral d'Orange (Pass by)

Here you are in front of the entrance of the old Cathedral of Our Lady of Nazareth, classified as a historic monument. It was the episcopal see of Orange until 1801 before being decommissioned when the bishopric was transferred to Avignon.

Orange (Pass by)

We will go up the great avenue that opens in front of you to reach the impressive Arc de Triomphe. If you came to visit Orange in summer, you can take the free shuttles set up by the city.

Arc de Triomphe (Pass by)

Here you are, like a Roman living in the 1st century CE, arriving via Via Agrippa, at the northern gateway to the city of Arausio. You are amazed at this magnificent, freshly built monument that symbolises the supremacy of Rome.

Meyne (Pass by)

The river you're crossing now is the Meyne. It is a tributary of the Rhone that crosses Orange and Caderousse.

Route du Parc (Pass by)

On your right is the entrance to Auguste Gasparin Park. This pleasant green space was named in honour of an illustrious Orange family who owned a mansion with a beautiful garden here.

Temple protestant de l'Eglise Unie - Orange (Pass by)

We pass through Place André Bruey, named in honour of the former mayor of Orange. There is nothing to suggest today that it could one day have been the scene of a terrible event.

Temple protestant de l'Eglise Unie - Orange (Pass by)

As you can see, in the 16th century, with a Protestant prince at its head, Orange became a real bastion of the Reformation, in the heart of France torn apart by the wars of Religion.

Roman Theatre of Orange (Pass by)

So Orange has not only an ancient theatre, it also has a magnificent municipal theatre, classified for its part historical monument. It was built at the end of the 19th century by André Jean Boudoy, who was a collaborator of Charles Garnier.

Orange (Pass by)

You have a view from here of Saint Eutropius Hill, on which once stood the castle of the princes of Orange-Nassau. Our original tour took you as close as possible to these remains to tell you their storey, but access to the hill is now impossible.

Forum romain autrefois identifie comme Gymnase romain a Orange (Pass by)

The ruins you see in front of you, protected by a crash barrier and surrounded by a wooden walkway to better observe them, are all that remains of the ancient Roman Forum.

Rue Madeleine Roch (Pass by)

A city with a rich historical heritage as that of Orange necessarily comes with a beautiful museum of Art and History. You have it here, across the street, in this 16th century mansion Inn, built for Georges Van Cuyl.

Roman Theatre of Orange (Pass by)

Yes, you understand, behind this spectacular 37-metre-high wall lies the highlight of the show, the city’s international Rising Star, the famous Orange Ancient Theatre. As you know, we planned to take you to a spectacular viewpoint, from the hill Saint-Eutrope, unfortunately inaccessible for the moment.
