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.

Orbe has a picturesque medieval townscape. The historic old town consists of an upper part (Vieux-Bourg) with three longitudinal and one cross streets and a lower part (Neuf-Bourg), at the bottom of which is the Pont du Moulinet, a bridge dating from 1421.
