How to Travel to Orléans  ?

If you plan on arriving here by car, national motorways such as the A10 and the A71 can be used. Note that the A10 also provides routes to Paris and Bordeaux. Alternatively, you employ one of the two main railway stations. Both the Gare d'Orléans and the Gare des Aubrais-Orléans are located within the city centre. Orléans–Saint-Denis-de-l'Hôtel Airport is found only 22 kilometres outside of the city and our hoteliers recommend this option if you are flying in from another portion of Europe.

When to go to Orléans ?

Due to the northern location of Orleans, our hoteliers recommend that the best time to visit is during the peak of the summer months. July tends to be the warmest, as temperatures hover just below 30ºC. Still, keep in mind that this is when the majority of tourists are expected to arrive. The best way to save money while enjoying top-class accommodations is to book any reservations at least 12 weeks before your intended date of departure.
