Head east from Orléans into the rural Loire valley to pair two contrasting medieval landmarks. At Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, the Abbaye de Fleury shelters the relics of Saint Benedict of Nursia beneath a Romanesque tower-porch lined with fifty sculpted capitals — and the monks still chant Gregorian offices throughout the day. Further downstream, the moated Château de Sully-sur-Loire rises with four-metre-thick walls, a 600-year-old timber roof, and tapestries recalling Voltaire's theatrical exile, while the nearby Helyett cycling museum and the Gothic spire of the Saint-Germain cultural space round out an unhurried afternoon. The castle is closed on Mondays; the abbey basilica is open daily and free of charge.
