Orléans et sa région : Great Tips

At 15 minutes from the hotel, recently renovated with these blocks you can find in the neighborhood many shops, bars, pubs, nightclubs and restaurants in all specialties with terraces and I recommend LE SAHARA that you offer all the flavors of Morocco with its cuckoo clocks, its tchouchouka (a salad) and really delicious tagines with a magnificent Marrakech decor very warm and comfortable.

A splendid 16th century chateau, it is one of the most visited castle in the department. Built by Lancelot Dulac, the castle became a Protestant stronghold through the family’s alliance with Louise de Coligny. It is now a castle and perfume tour that presents the history of scents, aromatic plants and valuable perfume bottles from the 16th century to now. Just push a button on astonishing panels of scents, move your nose close to it and...enjoy the scent! About 25 km from the hotel.

This 17th century chateau is one of Sologne’s first strongholds. Surrounded by moats, it is a living overview of the architecture of the 17th century. Costumed actors re-enact 17th century life in its kitchens. Children are welcome on the Enchanted Island, where they can play in wood houses built to their scale. It is surrounded by a vast park of 40 hectares. About 25 km from the hotel.

8 km southeast of Orléans, the Parc Floral covers 35 hectares. Many walks are open to you, with the fern garden, the rose garden, the vegetable garden and the exotic butterfly greenhouse to choose from. About 20 minutes by streetcar; exit at the Parc Floral stop.

Jacques Groslot, the town bailiff, had this house built during the Renaissance. The house became the town hall after the French Revolution. Four rooms, which have been maintained with the interior decoration of that time, are open to the public. 15 minutes from the hotel.
