A visit to Orange

Today was a bit of a late start but then after breakfast we went to visit Orange. The highlight there is the ancient Roman theatre, that is one of the best preserved in the world. We had lunch at a restaurant called Le Pigalle and I enjoyed my first Andouillete of the holiday. There was an excellent audioguide to the theatre and I learned a lot about Roman entertainment and its curtailment by the arrival of the Christians. Some things never change! There is also an Arc de Triomphe in Orange that we visited. We returned after that to the campsite and enjoyed a pizza and a couple of beers in the campsite restaurant. I comprehensively thrashed Gordon in 3 games of Rumikub.

  1. Rummikub. Does anyone ever play that when they're not on holiday?
