The Rue de Bourgogne is a bustling street lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants, perfect for a leisurely stroll. The city's historical and architectural heritage is on full display in its stunning buildings and monuments. The Gothic-style Orléans Cathedral (Cathédrale Sainte-Croix) is a masterpiece of architecture, with its soaring spires, intricate stained glass windows, and awe-inspiring interior. Another notable religious site is the Église Saint-Aignan, a beautiful Romanesque church with an impressive crypt. The Loire River is central to Orléans' charm, providing scenic beauty and recreational opportunities. Stroll along the riverbanks, take a boat cruise, or enjoy a picnic in one of the riverside parks.
