Visited on a rainy Sunday morning in October on our way back to the UK. It’s Free to see and there is free parking next to the arch. Also there is a Bakers only 50m away which is open on a Sunday!

When I originally visited the Triumphal Arch in Orange it was very rough and ready. The French government had yet to construct the area that surrounds it now. It is very impressive, and visited by so many school children daily. The only thing letting it down is that it needs more signs with information at the site, but Google works great so not really that big of a problem. Well worth the visit.

Worth a visit. Don’t forget to sit on the seats to get some history about the arch being built.

Very nice bit of architecture. The arch is beautiful and dates back to the Roman times so it’s been battered by the elements. Walk through the arches and look at the ceilings. Only needs 5-10mins to take it all in before strolling into town after parking right next to the Arch for free

The Arc de Triomphe in the town of Orange was built around 2000 years ago. It was restored at the beginning of the 19th century. The arch currently sits in a traffic circle away from visual obstructions. Take the time to visit and get close to admire intricate design details.
