Serviced Apartments in Orléans

The mention of Orléans usually brings about thoughts of the famous American city, New Orleans. However this city just 80 miles away from Paris is the original Orléans and has a long and historical background. Founded on the Loire River, it is the capital of the Loiret department and has a population of about 100,000. Tourism is growing in the town and Orléans aparthotels are becoming more and more commonplace.

The Vallée de la Loire (Loire Valley) within which Orléans is found is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and provides an abundance of fruit orchards and vineyards, as well as numerous historic towns and villages. This area is certainly worthy of exploration from your Orléans serviced apartment base, and can provide more than a couple of days out.

Back to the city itself and one of the first things you will notice about Orleans is the number of attractive stone bridges spread across Orléans. These bridges vary in age and usage, being footbridges, bridges for trains, trams and cars. These bridges bring characters in the city and make walking and travelling around a real pleasure. Even better is if you have any view of a bridge and the river underneath from your Orléans holiday apartment.

With the Loire River being such an important focal point of the town, it is a great idea to take a boat ride along the river; seeing the sights from a different perspective. Many holiday apartments in Orléans are found on the banks of the River and it can be a simple pleasure to just watch the traditional flat-bottomed boats go by.

There are plenty of museums and parks to visit during your stay; the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Orléans has a fine collection of regional and national art, and the local Historical and Archeological Museum is a great choice for those wishing to learn about the history of the area. Many Orléans short stay apartments are found next to pretty little parks such as the Parc Floral de la Source and Motte Sanguin garden.

One particularly interesting spot to visit is a building known as Joan of Arc's House. Despite not actually being owned by The Maid of Orléans, she did stay in the building for a time and is a famous figure in the history of the town. The house is found easily from any Orléans city centre (center) apartment.
