We offer various guided tours of Orléans, the city of Val de Loire closest to Paris. If Orléans is today the capital of the Centre Val de Loire region, it is also a city that has had an essential place in the history of France. It still has a rich heritage, particularly well highlighted by the recent renovation of the old center.
We offer all-year-round private guided tours of Orléans: A "Orléans city tour" to discover the essence of the city center, with Gallo-Roman remains and an important heritage of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the 17th and closer to us from the 19th and 20th centuries. A guided tour "Orléans and Joan of Arc": Thanks to the Maid of Orléans, the English army that besieged the city for many months finally raised the siege. Since then, Orléans has organized every year in spring "the Feasts of Joan of Arc" to celebrate the event. Our guided tour will allow you to follow in the footsteps of Joan of Arc at Orléans and see that the local heroine's representations are particularly numerous in the city. A "visit of the Cathedral of Orléans": a unique building because it was built in Gothic style for the most part in the Baroque period; this visit to the cathedral is also a mini-guided tour of the city of Orléans since it allows one to discover the immediate vicinity of the monument: the old canonical district.
Finally, we also offer private tours of the Orléans' Museum of Fine Arts. The remarkable collections are presented on five levels: A second floor dedicated to the 16th and 17th centuries; a first floor dedicated to the 18th centuries, which includes the second collection of Pastels after that of the Louvre; two entresols which present the collections of the 19th and finally a basement dedicated to the 20th and 21st centuries.
Please, note that "private tour" means the guided tour is only with your mini-group (your party only) ; the sites are not privatized. Rates for private guided tours start at € 39 for two people for a 1.5h private guided tour of the Orléans Museum of Fine Arts. During high season, Orléans guided tours for individuals may be organized at even more affordable rates (from € 12 per person), but not in the museum.
