Orange has been mentioned since the 1st century BC in Roman annals and was still led by "Arausio". The name which sounds like a citrus fruit only came about in the 16th century when the Princely House of Orange took power over the area. The noble lords couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful landscape than the one that surrounds Orange with its gently wooded hills covered and meadows covered with flowers. The soil is very fertile and so the weekly markets in Orange are full of healthy agricultural products from the local organic farmers. Truffles, olives and honey enrich the regional cuisine and there is wine from the vineyard Côtes du Rhone which is located in front of the gates of the city. Get your rental car to experience memorable vacation.


After a fine breakfast with French cafe au lait, croissants and brioches, Orange invites you to take a walk under a blue sky. The old town district around the town hall from the 17th century is surrounded by old restored buildings, winding streets and small squares with fountains and stone work. The main attractions of Orange are, of course, the impressive pieces of evidence left by the Roman culture and which now belong to the UNESCO World Heritage sites. The huge amphitheater was built in the 1st century AC in honor of Emperor Augustus who loved arts and culture. The acoustics are still so incomparable that even today there are still concerts and theatrical events that take place here. The majestic Arc de Triomphe from the 1st Century BC, which was probably built in honor of Caesar’s sea victory against Britain, is also worth seeing. Those who want to know more about the long history of Orange should absolutely go and see the Museum for City History, the Musée Municipal. With its numerous exhibits, also dating back to Roman times, you get a very good overview of the area’s history.
