Holiday houses & holiday apartments Orange

DuMont travel guide paper back - Provence (2009), page 25 (translated from German):
"On atraveo (...) one can find more than 4,500 houses just for the Provence which can be located on a map with a mouse click (www.atraveo.de)."

The author Susanne Tschirner gives an impression of the region:
"With aromatic herbs of the Garrigue and lots of flavour by now it is legendary – the Provenciale cuisine delights every gourmet. Vegetarians as well as meat lovers will equally enjoy the culinary delights.”

Why not go on your next holiday to the Provence in the southeast of France. Cézanne and van Gogh were enthralled by the colourful countryside, the never-ending fields of lavender and the vineyards. Enthusiasts of the antique period will find the Provence like an open air museum that takes them through the Roman era. Numerous attractions are UNESCO heritage sites and they in-vite you on a journey to the past.
The town of Arles is well renowned for its historical treasures. One of the tourist attractions is the amphitheatre which is occasionally used for bull fights. Around 25,000 people can find a seat in this big and well kept arena. Another place worth a visit is the antique baths in Arles. These Roman thermal springs of Constantine invite you to experience something new. Even back in those days one was aware how to combine hygiene and wellness with hot baths, massages as well as sport ac-tivities.
In Avignon you can look forward to a charming old town with impressive buildings that are en-gulfed by long city walls. The artistic and cultural town has become famous around the globe through the song “Sur le pont d’Avignon”. The mentioned bridge “Pont St. Bénézet” in the song from the year 1187 was one of the longest bridges in the Middle Age.
In the town of Orange you will encounter a variety of unique attractions from the past. You will be able to admire the triumphal arch of Orange which is one of the biggest and best obtained of its kind. A further attraction is the amphitheatre regarded as being one of the oldest in the world and it is still in very good condition. Especially in the summer months you can be witness to choir per-formances that are due to the breathtaking acoustics a pleasurable experience. Why don’t you take a listen and be enchanted by the sound…
Next you may want to take a train on the nostalgic pine train route (Train des Pignes) up towards the Alpine villages. The train route has got its name due to the speed the train travels at. Allegedly travellers were able to pick pine cones whilst travelling on the train. Have you got a scent of laven-der in your nose? Then you are probably in the middle of one of numerous fields of lavender for which this region is famous for. Enjoy this incomparable smell whilst you take a stroll. Alternatively you may want to buy yourself a small bag of lavender and take a bit of the Provence back home with you.
