Sainte-Croix d'Orléans Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

Probably the most famous monument in Orléans, the Sainte-Croix d'Orléans Cathedral was erected from 1601 to 1829. This Gothic-style cathedral is made up of five naves and two towers which rise to 88 meters in height. The impressive central spire rises to 114 meters.

The cathedral can be visited outside of services and allows you to admire numerous paintings as well as the perfectly restored organ.

Meung-sur-Loire

Highlight • Settlement

Meung-sur-Loire, which must be pronounced "Main", is a small city on the Loire on the right bank, south of Orléans. In its medieval town, its winding streets and its monuments steeped in history invite you to take a stroll back in time. Along the Quai Jeanne d'Arcune, bucolic perspectives on the river follow one another.

Nice trip but not much river. We went partly on footpaths and that was really worth it.
