Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Brag-worthy address in the city centre (perf if you're in the mood to explore on foot).

Set amid 75 hectares of parkland, with to-dos ranging from fishing to clay pigeon shooting.

Reno'd art deco stunner was built in 1927 by local architect Maurice Boille (interior design by Pierre Chareau).

Lovely modernism in the heart of the city, 15 minutes' walk from Saint Martin Basilica.

We can’t resist a stroll in the nearby Jardin de la Préfecture.

Cosy digs ideally situated in the heart of Saran minutes from all the sights in Orléans.

Attractive accommodations in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin. Minutes from the House of Joan of Arc (pop in and say 'hi').

Old Town’s easily drivable if you can (somehow) tear yourself from this idyllic Loire Valley stunner.

Manicured lawns, velvety furniture. Enjoy the 17th-century vibe without all those ridiculously monstrous hats and ruffly collars.

Overpacked? No prob. You’re a 1-min walk from the train station. (Annnd you have tons of outfit options.)

The Tours Train Station is an easy 5-min walk – maybe a little longer for chronic over-packers.
