Colline Saint Eutrope, Archaeological site and historic monument on Saint Eutrope hill in Orange, France.

Colline Saint Eutrope is an archaeological site on a hill in Orange containing remnants of fortifications from different periods. The location displays ancient walls, storage areas, and bastions that reflect multiple phases of human settlement and military use.

The hill was settled from ancient times and contains remains from several occupation phases. In the 1620s, Maurice of Nassau ordered construction of a modern fortress with a medieval keep and eleven bastions.

The hill forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that includes the Roman Theatre and the Triumphal Arch of Orange.

The site features walking paths, viewing areas, and access routes to the archaeological remains. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear as the hill has slopes and the paths cross uneven ground.

Queen Juliana of the Netherlands planted an oak tree here in 1952 to mark the historical connection between Orange and Dutch heritage. The tree stands as a reminder of the former Dutch rule over the city.

Location: Orange

Part of: Roman Theatre and its Surroundings and the "Triumphal Arch" of Orange
