Orléans Loiret Basket was created in 1993.

Chanteau is a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France.

Cenabum (or Genabum) was the original name of the City of Orléans. The Celtic word Gen or Ken means the mouth of a river; presumably the tributary which flows into the Loire at this point (now the Loiret) was then called something like Bum.

Michel Vuillermoz was born in 1963, in Orlans, Loiret, France.
