The old-fashioned but charming town of Orbe is located on a hill in a meander of the Orbe. From the Place du Marché, decorated by a fountain with a standard bearer (1753), a small street leads to the reformed church from the 15th-16th century (naves with interesting keystones) and further to the terrace of the former castle, which offers a beautiful view of the lower city and the Orbe valley.

The old town, which consists of a lower and an upper part, is really kitschy and beautiful. Small shops, many restaurants, colorful facades and the castle characterize Orbe.

An idyllic place that changes from spectacular to romantic depending on the water level of the "Nozon". Only during the holiday season and when the weather is nice at the weekends is an increased crowd to be expected.

Beautiful and easily accessible section along the river, e.g. from the bridge by the mill to the sports field.
