Villa Marjane is a lovely little hotel on the outskirts of Orleans. The room was nicely decorated with a good sized bathroom and both very clean and well appointed. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and although there is no restaurant there is a small salon where you could get a drink in the evening. Breakfast is served in a pleasant conservatory area - there was also outdoor seating, but unfortunately on the 2 mornings we were there the weather did its worst.
The only problem was actually getting there. We would recommend getting hold of a detailed map of Orleans before you go - it's a nightmare of one-way streets and there are hardly any sign-posts to St Jean le Blanc.
We stayed in several hotels during our trip and this was one of the best two places we stayed. Would definitely recommend.
