Orléans is served by two main railway station: the central Gare d'Orléans and the Gare des Aubrais-Orléans, in the northern suburbs. Most long distance trains only stop at the Les Aubrais-Orléans station, which offers connections to Paris, Lille, Tours, Brive-la-Gaillarde, Nevers and several regional destinations.

High-Speed train (TGV) is connecting Paris to Orleans several times a day.
From Orleans, you may visit the valley by bus or even by train. The French railways system is quite efficient, although regionalised, so that timetables are more difficult to be found whenever you have to travel across the regional borders.

Train from Gare d'Austerlitz in Paris to Orleans. They run about 1 per hour, often with a change at a nearby station to Orleans - I think Orleans station is a 'dead-end'.
On foot - sights within walking distance.

By electrical train for example. This train stops on main points in the city like the Main Square or City Hall. While sitting in it you can watch the city.
