Just came back from our trip in France with visit to Loire Valley. Stayed the 1st night in Orleans. The hotel was very good choice with central location and comfortable rooms that currently were redecorated. We found a free parking in the middle of street called Bulevard Alexandre Martin. It's perpendicular to rue de la Republique so saved ourselves 10 Euros a day on parking. Also when asking for a good place to eat we were recommended a local place about 5 mins walk. Quality hotel gave us discounted voucher for £20 (3 course meal plus glass of vine). Excellent value as the food was brilliant and menu changes every day! Would go back there any time!
