Théâtre Antique

ORANGE, SOUND INNOVATION SCENE 

Built during the reign of Emperor Augustus in the 1st century AD, the Antique Theatre in Orange is the best-preserved Roman theatre in the western world. It owes its fame to its monumental stage wall, which gives it exceptional acoustics. Come and discover this giant that has stood the test of time, both by day, with the tour of the monument, and by night, with the Sound Odyssey!

The Museum of Art and History traces the history of Orange from antiquity to the 20th century. Discover priceless treasures!

Another exceptional example of Roman art is the Triumphal Arch!

Built under Tiberius in the 1st century AD, this breathtaking monument is still adorned today with its magnificent panels and friezes commemorating Roman victories over barbarian peoples. Discover the sound trail made up of 12 listening stations surrounding what was once the gateway to the city of Orange.
