Orléans
Cléo, en vert et blanc
‘Cléo’, Orléans’ second tram line, crosses the city from west to east, connecting with the tram network’s line A in the city centre, next to the cathedral.


The track bed is green on the city’s outskirts: a long ribbon of turf, calm and unifying.


In the city centre the track bed is white: bordered with limestone from the Beauce region, in keeping with the stone of the cathedral and the paving of the medieval city.
