Arc de Triomphe
( www.theatre-antique.com ) Orange's 1st-century AD monumental arch, the Arc de Tri-
omphe, stands on the Via Agrippa, 19m high and wide, and 8m thick. Restored in 2009,
its brilliant reliefs commemorate 49BC Roman victories with carvings of chained, naked
Gauls.

ROMAN SITES

Colline St-Eutrope
For bird's-eye views of the theatre - and phenomenal vistas of Mont Ventoux and the
Dentelles - follow montée Philbert de Chalons, or montée Lambert, up Colline St-Eutrope
(St Eutrope Hill; elevation 97m), once the Romans' lookout point. En route pass ruins of a
12th-century château , once the residence of the princes of Orange.
