'''Orléans''' is a city in [[France]], about 130 km (80 miles) southwest of Paris. It is the capital of the Loiret department and of the [[Center]] (Centre) region. The city is located on the Loire River where the river curves south towards the Massif Central. The city of [[New Orleans]] (originally La Nouvelle-Orléans), in the United States is named after the city of Orléans. Orléans is located in the septentrional bend of the Loire, which crosses from east to west. Orléans belongs to the vallée de la Loire sector between Sully-sur-Loire and Chalonnes-sur-Loire, which was in 2000 inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The capital of Orléanais, 120 kilomètres south-south-west of Paris, she is bordered to the north by the Beauce region and the forêt d'Orléans, and the Orléans-la-Source neighborhood and the Sologne region to the south.
 
 
 

=='''HISTORY OF ORLEANS'''==
Orleans holds onto a deep and intriguing past starring some of the biggest names in history. Originally home to Celtic tribes, the city was later conquered in 52 by Julius Caesar himself. Its name can be credited to the Roman Emporor Aurelian.

By 1344, King Phillip VI de Valois deemed it the center of royal duchy. But the French kingdom had been undergoing war with England for some time and problems were about to escalate. The English had control of some land in North Western France during the time that Henry V was England's King and Charles VI was the King of France. After winning the territory in France, England had France sign a treaty promising Henry V the kingdom of his newly deemed land upon the death of King Charles. But, matters complicated when both kings died at nearly the same time. Each had a son and naturally England wanted their king's son to take the French kingdom's land whereas the French wanted Charles VI's son to take it. Feuding was fueling and the future of the French looked bad, they were without a king to look to and losing even more of their land was at great risk. That's when Joan of Arc comes in.

In 1429 the peasant girl stormed the city of Orleans and overthrew English forces. She restored the throne to Charles VI's son, now Charles VII. Orleans and France have never forgotten her heroic efforts and today, tributes to her are evident throughout the whole city and country.

Fortunately, Orleans, although a target during World War II was able to come out virtually unscathed.
