Orléans


On Saturday morning, Nadine and I headed into Orléans to go shopping. She showed me around the town a bit too. Orléans is famous for hosting Jean d'Arc while she was doing her thing. There is a big statue of her in the middle of town. There is also a big gothic cathedral in the city.
Nadine bought food at the big market in the center of town (les halles). It is a big indoor market with lots of vendors selling different kinds of foods. The French are known for being gourmands and it was easy to see why at this market. There was so much great food being sold it was amazing. This type of market is apparently quite common in larger towns in France.
