The city of Orange is situated in the Vaucluse department of the Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur region in the south east of France. It is just under half an hour north of Avignon. The city is famed for its Roman architecture and in particular its Theatre antique d'Orange which is said to be the most impressive Roman theatre in Europe. If you happen to hire a car in Orange you should visit one of the city's UNESCO World Heritage Sites which include the Triumphal Arch of Orange, the theatre and the area which surrounds it.
Orange is famous for its international opera festival called Chorégies d'Orange which first began in 1902 and has occurred each year since then. If you are visiting the city in August be sure to visit this prestigious event as it is a chance to see some of the world's greatest artists perform. The Theatre antique d'Orange holds this summer festival so you can admire the magnificent architecture while you are there. Rent a car in Orange from our pick up location in Nord and drive into the city to Orange Cathedral, which is a national monument of France.
