Orléans, Ville d'art et d'histoire
Orléans has integrated a national network, a prestigious circle made of currently 149 certified cities.

In the past few years, proud of its past and made dynamic by its projects and ambitions, the city council committed itself in a policy of promoting patrimony. This commitment was rewarded with Orléans being granted the status of “Ville d'art et d'histoire” in May 2009 by the Minister of Culture.
Within the framework of this label, the “Ville d'art et d'histoire” service is developing actions in order to make people aware of the architecture and the patrimony: organization of tours throughout the city, conferences and animations, creation of an educational service, achievement of patrimonial leaflets.
