The ancient theater of Orange is the best preserved in the Western world. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981, it owes its fame to its monumental stage wall. "The most beautiful wall in my kingdom", said Louis XIV. The audioguided tour will take you back through the history of the monument, as well as the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, which traces the history of Orange from antiquity to the 20th century. Built at the beginning of the Christian era, it owes its reputation to the remarkable preservation of its stage wall. The Theatre features all the components of the Latin Theatre according to Vitruvius: the cavea (hemicyclic seating), the side entrances and the stage wall flanked by parascenia. Designed to accommodate Gallo-Roman audiences, this was the place to spread Roman culture and language. 9,000 spectators could attend tragedies and comedies, as well as dance, acrobatics and juggling shows. Columns and numerous statues in niches originally decorated the stage wall. Burnt down in the 4th century, the theater lost its original function. Its location at the foot of the hill made it an integral part of the city's defense. Over time, it was invaded by houses and became a veritable residential district. It wasn't until the 19th century that the ancient theater was revived as a performance venue. Auguste Caristie, chief architect of historic monuments, was responsible for its restoration. Today, the theater welcomes tens of thousands of spectators every year for various summer events, including the famous Chorégies.

Nestled in a complete verdant space, the “Chartreuse de Valbonne” unfolds its atypical architecture and proudly displays its multicoloured tiles, with a Burgundian trace. Founded in the 13th century, it occupies the small valley within the beautiful forest of Valbonne which still contains today rare essences in Provence. Though before, this small “oasis” was a swampy valley only. The efforts and patience of a dozen monks were needed to clear and cleanse the area, before the vaults of this edifice could be raised. The place then became the vallis bona, where the name Valbonne derives from. It has been listed as a historical monument since 1959, and the Charterhouse kept the authenticity of its monastic cells from its centuries of history, and they are now re-established for our visitors with the utmost fidelity.
