   Discover the historic city of Orléans, beautifully located on the banks of the Loire River. Known for its strong connection to Joan of Arc, who famously led the city’s liberation in 1429, Orléans offers a rich cultural experience. Explore the stunning Orléans Cathedral (Cathédrale Sainte-Croix), a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with impressive stained glass and intricate details.
