Orange was an ancient Roman military retirement community, like our VIrginia Beach. It gets its name because the House of Nassau-Orange, the same royal family of Holland, used to rule this area. It only became French in the 1600s. The very little I've seen so far reminds me of San Juan and Santa Barbara, two tropical colonial towns. We've had gorgeous California weather and landscapes so far.
