Théâtre antique d'Orange

The theatre is just amazing! 2,000 years old and still standing and serving it's original purpose. Given its age it's in a truly remarkable state of preservation. If you are in the area this is a must see. The self-guided tour is excellent as is the Virtual Reality experience . The cafes, restaurants and shops in Orange are very typically French and a lovely place to while away a few hours.

Absolutely beautiful! Staff are fantastic and offer audio, visual and virtual reality tour! We bought our own picnic with us as it's allowed! With the tickets you can visit the history museum accross the road for free!

What a beautiful place to have a live concert. Also great history. Lots of children on day camp trips, but still not too long of lines. It is very hot in June, but if you tick to the caves where there are many educational exhibits, then it is bearable. I went over a decade ago, and today experience was much nicer. The VR concert experience was a hit with the family.

Well worth a visit. Astonishingly well kept and still being used today for events, 2,050 years after being built. The tour is excellent.

The ancient Roman amphitheater is a must-see site if you're in Orange. It's amazing, a reminder of how skillful the Romans were in building various sorts of structures across their vast empire, including this impressive amphitheater. It's a treat to be able to walk into the theater and sit on the same stone benches that were placed there during Roman times, looking at the same stage spectators saw back then. The instructional material on large placards in the entry area of the museum is also very helpful and clear.

Amazing place, built 2000 years ago and still in use as a theatre! There is a good audio guide provided with the entrance fee which gives lots of detailed information along with options for.even more information if you want it!

Arrived at 5.30pm on Saturday 21 June, annual music festival. Walked straight in, offered a free audio guide in English which directed us all over the theatre. VR experience of Toto concert was fun.

"Ancient Theatre of Orange, a breathtaking historical gem! This ancient site captivates visitors with its stunning architecture and rich history. The theatre's remarkably preserved structure is a testament to the grandeur of Roman civilization. The magical atmosphere and cultural performances held here add to the unforgettable experience. Visiting this site is a fantastic opportunity to delve into the history and culture of the region. I highly recommend exploring its beauty and heritage. 🎭🏛️👏"

The Roman Theatre of Orange is fascinating and definitely worth seeing if you are in the Vaucluse in France. It dates back to the 1st Century AD but is still used as a theatre to this day. It is also one of the few Roman theaters that still has an intact scaenae frons, an elaborately decorated portion of the theater's stage. It is clear why this has been designated a UNESCO world heritage site. A lot of the theater still remains and other portions have been rebuilt. You can tour most of the theater with an audio guide.
