Owner description:
Open 7 days a week, all year long. Located in the valley of the Rhone, the Theatre at Orange is one of the finest remains of the Roman Empire and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is the best preserved roman theatre in the whole of Europe. The Theatre is extraordinary in that it has retained its magnificent stage wall - surprisingly well preserved and unique in the Western world.

Owner description:
Open 7 days a week, all year long. A medieval fortress located at the intersection of the Languedoc and Provence, the Château des Baux stands witness to a turbulent military past punctuated by repeated assaults. The stout keep dominating the site is a reminder that at one time, numerous people wanted to take control of Provence. Full-scale replicas of huge siege warfare machines will give visitors of all ages some idea of medieval military tactics.
