Ancient theater
In the heart of the Rhône Valley, the Théâtre Antique d’Orange is certainly one of the finest legacies of Imperial Rome. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it is the best-preserved theater in Europe.
It owes its fame above all to its magnificent stage wall, amazingly well preserved and unique in the Western world. A major performance venue in Roman times, it remains so today to the delight of music lovers the world over.
Museum of Art and History
The Musée d’art et d’histoire d’Orange is housed in a mansion built in the 17th century by Georges Van Cuyl. This Dutchman was in charge of munitions for the castle of the Princes of Orange, which stood atop the Saint-Eutrope hill above the theater.
From its origins, the hotel has retained its staircase, windows, French ceilings and gypsum fireplace. Today, it houses a rich collection of furniture and objets d’art, and traces the history of Orange from Antiquity to the 19th century.
