Overview

⚠️ New vehicle starting in March 2026!

Hello dear visitor, my name is Arnaud and I will be your native guide in this magnificent Provence. Among the 5 circuits I propose, today I will take you to the Roman monuments of Pont du Gard and Orange.

The first quick stop will be at the Arc de Triomphe of Orange, built in honor of the Roman legion that built the city. It was the entrance to the city before becoming an observation tower in the 17th century.

Then, you will visit the majestic Ancient Theatre of Orange with an audio guide, the best preserved of all Roman theatres in the world!

We will then stop at the Pont du Gard, for a picnic of local products from local farms (April to October only), then to walk around the Pont du Gard for superb views of this monument.

NB: From November to March, the picnic will be replaced by a longer stop in Orange so that lunch can be had (meal not included in the price).

What's Included

  • Lunch Shared picnic with fresh and local products: boiled eggs, tapenade, cream of pepper, fresh goat cheese, seasonal fruit, fruit juice (between April and October)
  • Bottled water A bottle of water of 75 centimetres per person
  • Photo stop at the Arc de Triomphe of Orange
  • Tips
  • Picnic between November and March
