What have the Romans…

Spent yesterday evening and today wandering around the city of Orange in Provence. The Arc de Triomphe lies on the route of Agrippa and is dedicated to those who founded the Roman Colony of Orange in the 1st century.

Today we explored one of the most impressive Roman theatres in Europe, the Théâtre Antique, checked out the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire and visited the Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth.

We are staying in a 17th century stone building, now the warmly hospitable L’Herbier D’Orange, set in a tiny square close by the Roman Theatre.

    I love Orange. You can stand on that stage in the amphitheatre and whisper and be heard at the back. I know – we tried it. Those Romans – they knew a thing or two. xx
