  • Tourism in Orleans

Tourism

Situated south of Paris, Orléans is the last major stop before reaching the French capital.

As the capital of Loiret (45), the city of Orléans is home to over 270,000 inhabitants. It is crossed by the Loire River, and for many, Orléans is the starting point of the Grand Route of the Loire Valley Castles.

Nature in Orléans

The city of Orléans encompasses more than 260 hectares of parks and green spaces. Many Parisians come down to the Loiret to relax in a green setting, such as the Forest of Orléans, which covers over 50,000 hectares.

The Loire, which was once a royal river, made Orléans the largest warehouse in France. Orléans remembers this, and every two years, the city celebrates its history with the Loire by dedicating a Festival to it.

Monuments of Orléans

Orléans, among other things, due to its royal history, is full of monuments and historical traces that have crossed the ages, such as the Sainte Croix Cathedral of Orléans, which was built from the 4th century, then ravaged in the 900s before experiencing the wars of religion... We can also mention the Orléans statue of Joan of Arc, a monument unlike any other, which recognizes Orléans worldwide.

In 2009, the City of Orléans received from the Ministry of Culture the Pays d'Art et d'Histoire label.

Orléans Cathedral

Zoom on the Cathedral
Orléans Holy Cross Cathedral

Orléans Cathedral is the largest in the region with its two towers rising 80 metres from the ground and its spire which rises to 114 metres.

The Holy Cross Cathedral is not only remarkable for its architecture, but also for its ornamentation, which is worth seeing, thanks in particular to the stained-glass windows that make it up. The latter evoke the apparitions of Joan of Arc or the coronation of Charles VII.

Joan of Arc
Symbol in Orleans

Orléans honours the memory of Joan of Arc and her passage through the city to liberate it from the English yoke. Thus, during your stroll in the city, pass by the Martroi square (photo) where the equestrian statue of the heroine lies.

We can also mention the rue Jeanne d'Arc leading directly to the foot of the Sainte-Croix Cathedral where the one nicknamed "la pucelle d'Orléans" is highlighted. A short distance from there, you will also find the "Maison de Jeanne d'Arc" where Joan of Arc stayed for a few days.

Finally, every year the city celebrates Joan of Arc through one of the oldest traditional events in France.
