Campo Santo d'Orléans
Campo Santo d'Orléans, Medieval cemetery near Cathedral Sainte-Croix, Orléans, France.
The Campo Santo features a large grassy cloister of 3,850 square meters surrounded by arcades covering 1,200 square meters near the city center.
From the 12th to 18th century, the Writers Guild established this cemetery, which endured religious wars and destruction before relocating burials outside city walls.
The complex includes an Orthodox chapel and hosts medieval markets during Joan of Arc celebrations, along with various cultural gatherings throughout the year.
The open space accommodates up to 5,000 people for events and operates under municipal regulations that exclude religious and political activities.
The site transformed from a cemetery to a grain market in 1884, later incorporating the Visual Arts Institute within its southern gallery.

People often think they know Orleans, but the city always has something to tell. Behind its impressive cathedral, one discovers a lively old town with cobbled streets, half-timbered facades, and squares perfect for stopping. The history blends with the enjoyment of life: Joan of Arc still watches over the Place du Martroi, museums reveal their hidden treasures, and the banks of the Loire invite sunny walks. Along the quays, you encounter gardens, churches, Renaissance houses, and busy weekend markets. The city has maintained its calm pace without ceasing to surprise, balancing heritage, culture, and nature. Orleans is best explored at a slow pace, the one preferred by those who enjoy observing details, breathing the river air, and rediscovering their own city at every corner.
