Hôtel Cabu
Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit Orleans, Walking through history with Clovis, Joan of Arc and Attila
Just across the square, you can admire what is often considered the most beautiful Renaissance building in Orléans. This elegant mansion was originally built around 1550 by lawyer Philippe Cabu. In 1862, the city acquired it with the goal of creating a home for its historical museum. Today, the museum is best known for its remarkable Neuvy-en-Sullias treasure — an extraordinary collection of Gaulish and Roman bronze statuettes, including a stunning one-meter-tall horse that’s not to be missed. Inside, you’ll also find exhibits from the Middle Ages and a fascinating journey through the history of Orléans — from its thriving river trade and traditional industries to, of course, the city’s legendary liberation by Joan of Arc. Please note, admission is required.
