Notre-Dame-des-Miracles Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The cult of the Black Virgin dates back to the 6th century when a Syrian colony was established in this town then called Avenum. The primitive church (1170-1180) houses the miraculous statue of St Pol. Joan of Arc prayed before Our Lady of Miracles. It was during the wars of religion that the statue was burned while the church was ruined (1562). A new statue was inaugurated at the end of the 16th century, the same one that is contemplated. After the Revolution, the building was restored. The church burned down in 1940 but nothing in the chapel was affected by the fire. A new building was built and inaugurated in 1966.

Orleans

Highlight • Other

Prefecture of the Loiret department and capital of the Centre-Val de Loire region, Orléans is a large city that welcomes thousands of visitors every year. Between the via Turonensis (path of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle which connects Paris to Saint-Jean-Peid-de-Port), the GR 3 or the Loire à Vélo, the city continues to seduce lovers of activity while roaming.

As the former capital of the Kingdom of France, Orléans recalls great chapters in the country's history. Clovis or Joan of Arc belong to the illustrious characters who marked the city.

As a large metropolis, you find all the necessary amenities to satisfy your adventure. Every day, trains leave the city center station (not to be confused with the more remote Aubrais station) in the direction of Paris.

Sainte-Croix d'Orléans Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

Probably the most famous monument in Orléans, the Sainte-Croix d'Orléans Cathedral was erected from 1601 to 1829. This Gothic-style cathedral is made up of five naves and two towers which rise to 88 meters in height. The impressive central spire rises to 114 meters.

The cathedral can be visited outside of services and allows you to admire numerous paintings as well as the perfectly restored organ.
