Port of Orléans
Orléans, France
The Port of Orléans is a French river port located on the Loire in the city of Orléans, with origins predating Julius Caesar’s conquest of Gaul. It historically served as a major storage and trade hub between the Atlantic Ocean and the Rhône Valley and functioned as a supply center for Paris. From the mid-19th century onward, its activity declined due to competition from road and, especially, rail transport, leading to the gradual disappearance of river traffic during the 20th century.
