Grospierres.

Orange preserves one of Europe's best Roman theaters, its massive stage wall still hosting summer performances two millennia after construction. The compact historic center spreads around the theater and triumphal arch, with Provençal markets filling squares and cafés lining narrow streets. Surrounding vineyards produce Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône wines, making the city a gateway to wine touring. Museums tell Roman and local history while the theater's summer opera festival draws international audiences. The combination of exceptional Roman monuments, lively market town atmosphere, and position in wine country makes this a cultural and gastronomic hub of the Rhône Valley.
