About Tourisme Loiret
Au fil de la Loire et du Val de Loire, classé au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, de grands sites vous attendent dans le Loiret mais aussi des châteaux plus intimistes et des musées, situés en dehors des zones touristiques très fréquentées, qui proposent des visites animées et des expériences à vivre en famille et entre amis. Le territoire est doté d’un patrimoine très varié, de nombreux villages de caractère classés et accueillants ponctuant votre itinérance, d’une tradition horticole toujours présente et des jardins de passionnés qui présentent de riches collections végétales. Pour les amateurs de la plus belle fleur, la Route de la Rose propose une découverte originale de jardins, roseraies et de producteurs de roses.
Le Loiret se distingue par une diversité de paysages entre les vallées du Gâtinais, la Sologne, les plaines de Beauce et le Val de Loire. Il offre une multitude de possibilités de balades au cœur d’une nature préservée en totale déconnexion.
Si la Loire, plus long fleuve sauvage d’Europe, est le fil conducteur du département, les nombreux canaux sont tout aussi agréables. Le Loiret au fil de l’eau promet des expériences uniques sur l’eau mais aussi en itinérance à vélo, sur les voies douces le long des berges.
Idéalement situé à 1h au Sud de Paris et 3h au Nord de Clermont-Ferrand, le Loiret bénéficie d’une très bonne desserte, en train avec plusieurs gares et grâce à plusieurs autoroutes. Pour les plus aventureux deux Eurovéloroutes traversent le Loiret (EV6 et EV3), la Scandibérique permettant un accès direct depuis Paris ou Bordeaux et Tours.
Tourisme Loiret est l’agence de développement et de réservation touristiques du Loiret. Elle accompagne les professionnels touristiques du territoire pour améliorer constamment la qualité d’accueil des visiteurs, travaille avec les partenaires pour proposer de nouvelles expériences et œuvre pour faire connaître la destination auprès de tous les amoureux de découvertes authentiques et responsables.

The second leg along the Orléans Canal connects Vieilles-Maisons-sur-Joudry to Montargis train station. If you didn't visit the day before, a detour to the Étang des Bois leisure center is a must. In season, a swim in the pond is a great way to start the day before hitting the slopes, unless you prefer

The first stage of the Orléans Canal cycle route leads from Orléans train station to the village of Vieilles-Maisons-sur-Joudry. The route largely follows the meandering canal, using restored towpaths.
From the center of Orléans, you cross the city to reach the banks of the Loire at the René Thinat bridge

Here you are at the last stage of the Loiret along the water, where no more than 50 kilometres separate you from your return to Orléans.
You first discover Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, where the Fleury abbey stands proudly. This place full of history is an ideal stopover for a contemplative break, and who

This day starts off beautifully in Briare, a boating town where the impressive canal bridge stands. 600 metres long, this masterpiece of engineering will allow you to literally pedal above the Loire! Take the time to enjoy this unique panorama, a perfect marriage of architecture and nature.
