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.

Combleux

Highlight • Settlement

A picturesque village between the Orleans Canal and the Loire, Combleux was once a transit port when the Loire navy was expanding.

Traces of the old port activities are still visible: the bargemen's houses, the canal controller's house, and the lock keeper's house.

Canal d'Orléans

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This shaded path runs along the banks of the canal and offers a pleasant walk through bucolic landscapes, typical of the region. Lined with poplars and willows, the path reveals superb views of the canal, its historic locks, and the surrounding fields.

Superb view of the Loire

Highlight • Other

Very pretty view of the Loire, preserved in its wild state. Nature changes with each season but remains superb in all conditions. Depending on the water level, small islands appear, vegetation develops and then everything disappears when the water level rises.
The track which allows you to follow the Loire is in perfect condition here.
