Orange may exude an attractive small town vibe, but that charm only lasts until about 4pm; by that point, you will have circled through its worthwhile sights about 8 times. All the same, Orange is one of the last strongholds of provincialism in Provence that remains untarnished by tourists. Its tiny street cafes and boulangeries are enough to entertain the locals, who live quiet lives, raise their kids, or enjoy their retirement in the shade of the Roman theater that dominates the town’s skyline. Because of this unique demographic, there are few bars and fewer young people older than high school age left in the town. You can still find locals here who don’t speak a word of English, but who are all too happy to try to communicate, a sense of generosity that has since been lostin other parts of France.
