Flying in Orléans: the local context

Orléans' main constraint is military: air base 123 at Orléans-Bricy, some fifteen kilometres north-west, is France's military transport hub (A400M) and its associated zones and low trajectories affect the whole west of the conurbation. The rebuilt old centre and the UNESCO-listed Loire banks fall under the built-up-area scenario with Loiret prefecture notification.

The local market combines the pharmaceutical and cosmetics cluster (Cosmetic Valley production sites to inspect), logistics along the A10, Loire heritage — Sainte-Croix cathedral, the quays and sandbanks —, the Joan of Arc festival each spring and the property market of a metropolis one hour from Paris that keeps attracting firms and workers.
