Situated in the heart of the Loire, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the town of Saint-Jean-de-la-Ruelle takes place in the Center-Val de Loire, in the heart of the Loiret department. It is located on the edge of Orléans, a few kilometers from Fleury-les-Aubrais or Saran.
People from the Celtic period under the name of Athos, the commune of Saint-Jean-de-la-Ruelle takes its current name at the time of the construction of its first church, at the beginning of the fourteenth century.
Today, the city benefits from the influence of Orleans and its historical and tourist sites located nearby. Possessing itself a modest architectural heritage, it attracts visitors every year for its proximity with some of the most beautiful places to discover in the heart of the Loire Valley Center.
