Orléans' Sainte-Croix cathedral offers a walk to the top of the towers to admire the panoramic view over the Loire and the city.

First Romanesque, then Gothic and dedicated to the Holy Cross, rebuilt between 1599 and 1829, this cathedral contains remains dating back to the 4th century. One of its chapels pays tribute to Joan of Arc, and its great organ comes from the abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire. Its five bells, located in the north tower, weigh between 640 and 6,000 kilos! A "walk" up the towers allows you to admire the town and the panorama, with the Loire passing nearby. And don't forget to admire its facade, so well portrayed by painter Maurice Utrillo (1883-1955).

Une cathédrale splendide
Cette cathédrale est superbe, bien centrée par rapport à la rue Jeanne d'Arc, l'extérieur est très riche en architecture et l'intérieur est très riche en sculptures. Si vous venez la visiter, il ne faut pas oublier de visiter la salle aux trésors. La semaine qui précède la fête de Jeanne d'Arc, vous avez l' "embrasement des tours". Un spectacle qu'il ne faut pas rater. Attention à arriver sur place face à la cathédrale vers 18h00, 19h00 si vous voulez profiter de la vue car la rue Jeanne d'Arc est bondé de monde ce soir la.

Une très belle cathédrale, bien rénovée, d'un style un peu différent de sa voisine de Chartres, très agréable à visiter. A ne pas rater lors d'un passage à Orléans

Très bel édifice qui reflète bien notre histoire. Tous les critères du gothique sont représentés. Les vitraux représentant le vie de Jeanne d'Arc sont magnifiques. Respect pour nos ancêtres !
