📍 Destination Overview
Orange, a small Provencal town in France on the Rhone, is famed for its Roman theatre, Europe's most complete, a first-century structure with an intact stage wall seating about nine thousand; its neighboring arch shares a UNESCO listing. The region is known for wine and lavender. Roman ruins and Rhone wines give it both history and charm.
