Discover Orleans

Orleans, the city liberated by Joan of Arc in 1429, is one of the most important historical stops on the Turonian Way. Situated on the banks of the majestic River Loire, it offers the pilgrim a monumental center and vibrant atmosphere. The heart of the city is its imposing Cathedral of the Holy Cross (Sainte-Croix), a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that was rebuilt with the patronage of the French kings. Joan of Arc's figure is present throughout the city, from the house where she stayed to numerous statues in her honor. For the walker, Orleans is a great center for services and a place to immerse oneself in one of the most fascinating episodes in France's history. Its medieval old town, with wooden-framed houses, and its lively commercial streets invite rest and strolling. In the Way of St. James, it is the entrance to the spectacular Loire Valley and its castles, an epoch that combines religious devotion with a deep sense of French national history.
