Orléans Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in the city of Orléans, France. The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Orléans and was built from 1278 to 1329 and 1601–1829. The edifice is in the Gothic architectural style. The cathedral is probably most famous for its association with Joan of Arc.
Orléans cathedral with its ornate towers is visible from much of the town - so you can't get lost as you wander through its gorgeous streets. The fairground by the river doesn't detract from the history surrounding it.
Orléans is a great town to wander around - with an extensive historic centre and some truly grand elements, such as the cathedral with its ornate towers and the Rue Jeanne d'Arc.
