As the city unveils its veil of mystery, you'll find that Orléans is far more than just a mere plunge into the past. It hums with life and vibrancy, thanks to its thriving student population from one of Europe's oldest universities, founded way back in 1306. The city's development, ranging from its origins as a Gaul stronghold to its golden period as a medieval trading hub, owes primarily to the bustling river trade and commercial exchanges on the Loire.

Historically, Orléans was the capital of the Kingdom of France during the pivotal Merovingian period, a time marked by immense cultural and political change. This city played a sterling role in the Hundred Years' War, particularly remembered for the gripping Siege of Orléans and the courageous Joan of Arc's influence. Orléans's rich history has also influenced places around the globe, including those in Ontario, Canada and Louisiana, United States, which have adopted the name.

But Orléans is not entirely ensnared in the past. After significant damages suffered during World War II, the city saw an era of extensive reconstruction, paving the way for admirable improvements. Today, this resilient city presents a visual feast for the eyes with its picturesque bridges over the Loire, including the Pont de l'Europe, Pont Neuf, and the regal Pont George-V.

When to visit Orleans

Deciding the best time to visit Orléans can depend heavily on what you wish to see and how you plan to spend your time there. Generally, most travellers prefer to visit between May and October when the weather is pleasantly warm, with July and August as the warmest months. However, ensure you're prepared for sudden downpours as May, June, and December are the rainiest months.

For travellers looking to enjoy this iconic city on a budget, December typically presents the lowest prices on hotel accommodations. This could provide you with the perfect opportunity to explore other captivating sites near Orléans, such as Sully-sur-Loire, Chambord, Chartres, and Montargis, each boasting their unique appeals to complete your French adventure.
