Explore Orleans With Car Hire

If you're looking for a quiet holiday break, you'll love taking the time to explore the enchanting little French village of Orleans. It's also just around the corner from Paris so if you're thinking of visiting the city, this is one place you can't afford to miss out on! If you don't have the time to spend in Paris, there's plenty to see in Orleans.

When you arrive in Orleans, head down to the small country town of Montargis. There you can experience some of the culture and history that're hiding in the caves. From Orleans, rent a car to explore the many quaint French townships such as Montargis or Glen and stay at any of the many local bed & breakfast accommodation. Perhaps you might like to head down to Blais to go on a day trip to the famous Chateau of Blais, and then head up the winding paths through the hills to the Chateau.

The city of Orleans itself is beautiful and you can enjoy driving around the streets at night. Just make sure you do it at night because of some of the bad weather that Orleans has had recently. You may prefer to travel during the day and take a day trip to the old quarter of the city, or a tour around the old port of Orleans. You could also head down to Orleans Central to get to the old quarter and experience the French countryside up close.

The old town of Gare D'Orleans is the most beautiful part of Orleans and a great place to start when you're taking a tour around. Make sure that you stop by the old church of St Nicholas to see the beautifully painted frescoes. You can also get to explore the area through the canal, where you can watch fishermen and locals taking advantage of their wonderful surroundings.

The historic market of Orleans can be enjoyed with your family. Stop at the market for some fresh produce, and even buy a bargain book to take home. Once the afternoon is over, relax by the waterfront and watch the people go by. After the sun goes down, you may wish to head back to the hotel and have a long soak in the warm water, or simply get to bed.

Car hire in Orleans is an essential way to travel around and explore the charming little village of Orleans. You'll find that you can take in the entire area in a car rental and still save money at the end of the day!
