In the heart of the Orléans forest is the Château de Charbonnière. This castle belongs to the city of Orléans and dates from the 16th century. You can admire its imposing facade and one of its four elegant turrets, as well as a bread oven in front of the building. The castle can be rented for various events, but you can also enjoy its vast 150-hectare park, where you can run, walk, cycle or picnic. The castle is open every day from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

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.
