1. Cathedrale Ste-Croix

Other than the connection to Jean d’ arc this was a pretty straightforward Cathedral. It is very restrained and plain. However how they constructed such large and intricate stone structures is beyond me. Has more than a couple beautiful stained glass windows.

Great way to allow the kids to burn of some energy after several days of seeing adult-oriented attraction (I.e. Cathedrals, museums, historical monuments). Different levels based upon age, but challenging enough to keep them interested. Very affordable, with a single entrance price allowing them to climb as long as they like. Well supervised, with great security measures (not based on carabiner system that allows younger kids to unhook themselves).

With 1,800 locations in 2013 and 18 rental outlets spread over the route of the Loire by bike, Loc. Loire Valley has become a must along the Royal River. Easy cycle hire with Loc. Val de Loire. A name you can trust, combining quality and experience. Mountain bikes, trail bikes, tandems and electric bicycles to help you explore the region. In partnership with "Loire à Vélo".

As walk in customers my wife and I had no idea what to expect in terms of customer service and bicycle quality. What a wonderful surprise to discover the best quality bicycles and most customer oriented owners that we have ever encountered. The Tabard family, celebrating 40 years in business, are the epitome of organization and efficiency.
Our bikes were like new, fitted properly and equipped with all necessary repair equipment. Routes were recommended according to our time constraint and fitness level, and detailed instructions provided for return after hours, if necessary. We were fortunate enough to even meet the grandfather/founder of the company upon our late return. This is truly a 5 star service company and deserves my highest possible recommendation.

Reviewed By JPELAN - Paris, France
Spectacle minimaliste avec ambiance club de vacances où l'on fait participer la salle autour d'une histoire pour les enfants ou les grands restés très très jeunes. Seule une artiste acrobate a sauvé la soirée. Le dîner ou l'on vous sert un cocktail au pichet "alcool ou sans alcool?", une bouillie de poulet et un dessert au chocolat.. On n'y va pas pour manger mais quand même. On fait passer le cuistot dans la salle pour le faire applaudir (on avait honte pour lui). Photos forcées, relances pour l'achat de photos, de suppléments boissons, bref la croisière s'amuse à Orléans mais y'avait même pas la mer

The purpose of the game is the following one: escape from a room within one hour. It is practised in team from 3 to 6 players, who have to look for indications scattered in the room, then combine them, solve the riddle and go out of the room as fast as possible.
Reviewed By HUYGHE0498 - Lille, France
Loin des grosses escapes et des centre ville, il y avait une petite appréhension en arrivant sur place, d'autant que de l'extérieur cela ressemble plus à des bureaux. Mais il ne faut pas se fier au premier regard !!! Avons fait le scénario Back to the Past. Une escape très bien conçue et à ce jour jamais égalée sur la qualité des énigmes. En effet, sans rien dévoiler du scénario, il y a de la recherche et de l'innovation, robotique, domotique, bref cela change des autres salles ! Bravo !

Reviewed By Guillaume R - Göteborg
Hotel Groslot was used as a city hall from the French revolution. Notice the statue of Johan of Arc in front of the building. Her armor is pierced, but it is not original and rather the result of being stored close from a munition depot during WWII who suffered an explosion.

Ouvert 7 jours sur 7. D'excellent conseil, le propriétaire nous a vendu un vélo électrique d'occasion, dont nous sommes ravis. A recommander pour achats et locations sûrement, la maison étant très sérieuse.

Ce musée est dans la famille Bollée depuis 4 générations et c'est le propriétaire actuel qui nous a fait visiter le musée et sa fonderie.
Il est extraordinaire de prendre connaissance du travail, des compétences et de la patience nécessaires pour fonder des cloches que nous entendons tous chaque jour dans notre environnement sans y prêter attention.
Il ne faut surtout pas manquer le film qui clôt la visite

The "old city" has such an array of well preserved historic buildings that you really need to just wander aimlessly around for a while.
There are, naturally, several Cathedrals and churches, some fantastic old bank buildings, small backstreets and of course more modern additions.
If you aren't into architecture or history just walk along the banks of the River Loire or chill out in a coffee bar or restaurant (there are plenty).
