Hill full of archaeological remains, which had been surrounded by an abbey and a necropolis in Orange
This hill is full of archaeological remains. A cross, dating from the 17th century, marks the site of what was once the basilica of Saint-Eutrope; an abbey and a necropolis surrounded it. The Wars of Religion ruined the buildings, in 1622-1623, drowned in the ditches of the fortifications of Maurice de Nassau. A path leads to a statue of the Virgin erected in 1855, on the ruins of the castle. The clashes between the United Provinces and the Kingdom of France transformed Orange into the centrepiece of the European political chessboard in the 17th century.

Après avoir monté plusieurs dizaines de marches d'escaliers, le point de vue en hauteur du Théâtre antique et d'autres vestiges historiques réconfortent. A noter que lorsque le ciel est dégagé, on peut admirer le Mont Ventoux à l'horizon.
this site is not really exceptional. if it is not that you can see the theatre.
Site was very beautiful and very calm before the open-air café settles with accordions and dance ducks.
Go on this green hill overlooking the beautiful city of Orange and going to the statue of the virgin you will see the fabulous ancient theatre seen from above. Moreover it is a little place of greenery that will make you beautiful walks and you can cool off with the small open-air café of the hill. Do not miss this place if you are on Orange
