Place Louis XI

You’ve just arrived at the small but charming Place Louis XI. Now, Louis XI might not be the most famous among France’s many kings named Louis, but he had a real fondness for Orléans and spent time living here during his reign. If you take a moment to look closely, you’ll spot his statue perched on a pedestal, tucked against the wall of an old church — a quiet tribute to a monarch who left his mark on the city.
