The Centre-ville district, in Orléans. Google Maps map.
The Centre-ville of Orléans stretches along the north bank of the Loire, around Place du Martroi, the main square of the city, where the equestrian statue of Joan of Arc stands. It is the historic and commercial heart of the prefecture, bringing together the Sainte-Croix cathedral, rue Royale and its eighteenth-century arcades running down to the river, and rue Jeanne d'Arc, which opens the view onto the cathedral.
The district carries the memory of the city. The house of Joan of Arc recalls the siege of 1429, and at the start of each May the Joan of Arc festivities bring its streets to life. The building stock mixes older blocks, private mansions and post-war rebuilt frontages, on a dense pattern of pedestrian shopping streets. The Place d'Arc shopping centre and the shops of rue Royale make it the main retail hub of Orléans.

What is on offer there consists above all of older character apartments, sought after and relatively scarce, which sustains the highest prices in the city.
