NICHE HOTEL

In the heart of the city, theHôtel des Créneaux was Orléans' first town hall. Rebuilt in the early ^16th century in a style that subtly blends Gothic and Renaissance, it is reminiscent of the Beaugency town hall, whose proud facade bears a striking architectural resemblance. A courthouse during the Revolution, then a fine arts museum from 1825 to 1981, classified as a historic monument since 1840, a passageway known as the "Saloir" leads to the courtyard and belfry of this beautiful hotel, which is a delight to passers-by. A rare curiosity.
