I agree with the 2010 reviewer - walk through the town to the arch before you visit the theatre antique d'orange or the arch will be rather an anti-climax. More

If you are in Orange it would be best to walk through the town to the arch before you visit the theatre. The walk is quite pleasant through the quaint old town; only the last bit is on a rather bland and budy road. If you see the arch after the grandeur of the theatre it can be a bit... More
