Orléans is a city in north-central France, about 200 km (130 miles) south-west of Paris. It is the préfecture (capital) of the Loiret département.

Joan of Arc is sometimes called the Maid of Orléans.

Orléans is about as far as the English went when they tried to invade France in the 15th century.
