Tips from the Community
The church Notre Dame is like a pearl that wants to be opened. Its rather simple exterior hides its dazzlingly pure interior. Its late Gothic architecture with the 5 naves, the artfully carved columns and capitals, but above all the imaginative keystones, stained glass windows and the elaborately carved choir stalls with the many different faces, make every visitor pause in rapture. Notre Dame is like a shell in which a real pearl is hidden.

The Place du Marché is the true heart of Orbe. Some pretty cafés and restaurants invite you to linger, while life pulsates along the Grand Rue that leads to the square. The Place du Marché is also the start and end point of the two official city tours.

On the Schlossplatz, only 2 of the original 5 towers remain today. The square one served as a watchtower, the round one functioned as a keep.

Orbe bietet seinen Besuchern 2 unterschiedlich lange Besichtigungrunden an. Gelber Rundweg (ca. 45 Minuten): Der ideale Spaziergang für das Herz des Stadtzentrums. Er startet am historischen Marktplatz (Place du Marché) und führt zur Esplanade des Schlosses mit Panoramablick, dem alten Wehrgang und der historischen Abtei. Roter Rundweg (ca. 1,5 Stunden): Diese längere Stadtroute durch Orbe verbindet den städtischen Charme mit der Natur am Flussufer, wo mit etwas Glück Eisvögel zu beobachten sind.

Small pass crossing. The road is narrow, so hikers have to be careful, as there was surprisingly heavy traffic during our hike on a Friday.

You can ride your road bike almost to the summit of Le Suchet, but not quite. This hidden gem of the canton of Vaud is a feast for the eyes, especially on the final few meters. If the weather is fine, you'll not only have your destination, the chalet, in sight, but you'll also enjoy the fantastic view of Vaud with your last pedal strokes.
