Description

Heading south along the scenic route, I reached the city of Orleans. The Joan of Arc Square and the Cathedral of Sainte-Croix were prominent landmarks, each with its own historical significance. Orleans, with its medieval charm, provided a tranquil interlude before the journey continued. Additional Information: Orleans is closely tied to the story of Joan of Arc, and the Place du Martroi features a bronze statue of the legendary heroine. It's a poignant reminder of the city's historical significance.
