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.

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.
