The Loire river, the last remaining untamed waterway in Europe and listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along the stretch running from Sully-sur-Loire (Loiret) to Châlonnes–sur-Loire (Maine et Loire), forms the backbone of our department. But stretching to the South in Sologne and to the North in the Orléans and Montargis national forests you will discover unspoilt woodlands where you can breath in beautifully clean air whilst strolling amongst majestic oak and pine trees.

The Loiret has a longstanding tradition of creating both public and private floral gardens to make every halt an opportunity to admire nature at its very best.

In the arboretums, or in the national collections, you can discover unusual rare species before wandering through the parks and gardens full of roses, the emblem of the Orléanais area, where a romantic stroll will awaken all your senses.

Come and discover "Le Jardin de Paris".
