A unique heritage
The Grand Hôtel d’Orange is ideally located in the city so that you can easily reach the many Roman remains and historical monuments of the city on foot. The two most important witnesses of the Roman era of the city are the Arc de Triomphe and the Théâtre Antique, classified as world heritage by UNESCO and only 1min30 walk from the hotel.
In addition to discovering the Orangeois heritage, do not hesitate to get lost in the region and discover treasures that the whole world envies us: the surrounding vineyards and their prestigious appellations, Avignon and the Palais des Papes, the Dentelles de Montmirail, Isle sur Sorgue, Le sentier des Ocres…
So many reasons to extend your stay at the Grand Hôtel d’Orange.
For your travels and/or visits, think “ecomobility”: bicycle, electric bike, city bus, little tourist train... You will limit your impact on the planet while discovering the charms of our heritage.
UNESCO World Heritage Site The Roman Theatre
Built during the reign of Augustus in the 1st century BC by veterans of Julius Caesar's Second Legion, the Théâtre Antique is a striking testimony to Roman civilisation. It is one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the world and still features its impressive outer wall (or stage wall) with its original elevation: 104 metres long and 35 metres high.
Today, the theatre welcomes tens of thousands of spectators each year for various summer events, including the famous Chorégies.
The audio-guided tour brings the history of the monument to life; you can also discover the Museum of Art and History which traces the rich history of Orange from Antiquity to the 20th century.
