View of the Loire from the Saint George Bridge

Bridges — whether ancient or modern — always offer the perfect vantage point to take a step back and admire the view. From here, you’re treated to two stunning scenes. On one side, the untamed banks of the Loire stretch out before you, with the sleek silhouette of the modern Europe Bridge visible in the distance. On the other, the city of Orléans unfolds — its historic quays lining the river, and above them all, the majestic towers of the cathedral rising proudly against the sky.
