In 1429 Orleans had its finest hour. Joan of Arc, a.k.a. the Maiden of Orleans, delivered the city form the English troops. Most of the sights in present day Orleans have a link to that event.
In the Cathedrale St-Croix you find Joans pedestal on an altar carved with scenes from here life. The 19-th century stained glass windows tell the rest of the story. The Maison de Jeanne d'Arc on Place General de Gaulle is fun for children and has loads of additional info.
The city offers lots of good shopping opportunities in a large pedestrain area in the centre that roughly runs from the Place de Gaulle to the Cathedral. In the area there are also many small restaurants some with terrace where you can get really good food at reasonable prices.
Orleans is just 100 km south of Paris.
