Wine cellars
There are two outstanding wines:
• Orléans wines received two AOCs in 2006: Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée and
Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée. These wines, made from « Pinot Noir » and « Meunier »
varieties, are light, fruity, fresh and thirst-quenching. They have a fine ruby red colour
and a red fruit nose – the perfect accompaniment for local cured meats and Sologne
game.

• Coteaux du Giennois wines also have AOC classification and feature all the charm
of « Gamay », « Pinot » and « Sauvignon » – planted on the Nivernais bank of the Loire.
To be enjoyed with a goat’s cheese from the region, or Jargeau andouille sausage.

Saffron
Gâtinais saffron was
famous all over Europe
during the seventeenth
century, thanks to its
finesse and incomparable
flavour. Until the turn of
the twentieth century, the
town of Boynes was the
world capital for the spice,
accounting for 20% of
global production! Today,
producers in the Loiret are
again planting crocuses,
the pistils of which are
used to make saffron.
It takes 160,000 crocus
bulbs to produce a single
kilo of saffron!

• The Monk’s pears
Since the first pear trees were planted by the
monks at Micy, the producers of Olivet fruit
have been distilling William’s pear brandy,
which has made Olivet famous worldwide.
It features a bottle containing a whole, fullyripe pear prior to being filled with alcohol.
• Orléans vinegar
Increasingly elaborate treatment of Touraine and Anjou wines (which had
the tendency to turn to vinegar at the end of their long journey to the
port of Orléans) led to the creation of Orléans vinegar. This has a fine
reputation, preserved by a Guild of Master Vinegar Makers
• Orléans Cotignac
Cotignac is a quince jelly paste which
is extraordinarily fondant. The quinces
harvested in the region in October produce
a beautiful orange-coloured syrup, which
is poured into a spruce bark box whilst still
hot. The jelly comes in these small round
wooden caskets, known as friponnes, which
bear a stamp of the picture of Joan of Arc.
• Praslines, Macaroons and Pithiviers
While Orleans fruit macaroons are a recent
invention, Montargis Pralines were invented
in the 17th century by a pastry chef whose
Praslines Mazet de Montargis shop keeps
the manufacturing process a closely
guarded secret.
The recipe for Pithiviers, the celebrated
cake with an almond-based cream, is even
older still, and comes in two kinds: the
better-known one is made with flaky pasty
and filled with almond paste, while the iced
fondant version is decorated with a confit
fruit star.
• Honey
Gâtinais honey has a very distinctive flavour,
due to the rapeseed and sunflowers which
give the nectar its clear colour and fine
texture.
The living museum of bee-keeping at
Château-Renard, featuring video and
guided tours, glass-fronted hives and honey
extractions, is a must-see.

• Orléans mustard: the traditional recipe combines the famous Orléans
vinegar and Guérande salt with fine, delicate, stone-ground mustard
seeds.
• Jargeau andouille sausage
The andouille sausage is a French delicatessen speciality. Ingredients
include all of the pig’s insides; each recipe embodies a distinct local
tradition. La Confrérie des Chevaliers du Goûte-Andouille watches over
this delicious Jargeau andouille sausage. Every year there is a contest of
rival delicatessen talents.

Destination:
LOIRET
100 km from Paris, the Loiret is at the heart of the Loire Valley,
a Unesco World Heritage listed site.
3 excellent reasons to choose the Loiret
First and foremost, the Loire River – the
last untamed river in Europe, whose
meanders and tributaries provide the entire
département with water. Depending on the
season, it can be fast-flowing or calm; and
it’s home to a rich variety of protected animal
and plant wildlife. You can explore the river
by bike, canoe or on a riverboat cruise.
The
Beauce,
nicknamed
France’s
breadbasket loft, invites you to a different
world again, redolent with the golden yellow
hue of its wheatfields. Here and there,
medieval village church spires stand out on
the horizon.
The Orléans forest, the largest national
forest in France, along with Montargis
forest, home to oaks, beeches, hornbeams
and Scots pines, mean that the Loiret is an
ideal destination for walking enthusiasts,
mushroom pickers... and of course those
who enjoy a good old legend!
Then too, there’s the Sologne region with its
mix of deep forests, beguiling moorlands and
myriad lakes: it’s held on to its air of mystery
and preserves strong hunting and fishing
traditions.
The gentle lifestyle
Generations of inhabitants of the Loiret have
fostered a discreet, elegant lifestyle. Nothing
is just for show here. People savour the
know-how of artists and craftsmen; others
indulge their passion for creating roses, or
for pleasant parks and gardens; others again
restore and bring to life stately homes and
castles, humble villages and towns imbued
with historic charm.
Travelling
Within its relatively small territory, the Loiret
offers a wide variety of options for weekends
and holiday breaks: walking, hiking, horseriding or cycling along the towpaths; golf;
river tourism; cultural exploration from the
Middle Ages right through to contemporary
art; garden art and table arts, along with
family activities and more.

know-how will provide you
with all the assistance you
may need:

Orleans – full of historic charm
• The cathedral, whose 114m-high spire
towers over the city. It was rebuilt in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and
hosted the coronation of several kings of
France. There is a chapel dedicated to Joan
of Arc, the Maid of Orleans.
Surrounded by the waters of
the Loing and its tributaries,
the Briare canal, Loing canal
and the Orleans canal,
Montargis fully deserves its
nickname of the ‘little Venice’
of the Gâtinais. As well as its
131 bridges and buildings
over the water, the town
has particularly interesting
medieval architecture.

The Loire might be untamed and unpredictable, but the many canals in
the Loiret are navigable and open to canal boats and cruise boats for a
gentle and enjoyable outing. So cast off and away you go.
S
low right down on
the waterways of
the Loiret. Set off
aboard a boat on the Briare
Canal, Loing Canal, or the
Loire Lateral Canal with
over 100km of waterways
open to boats. Opt for the
countryside
charms
of
the Loiret. If you don’t see
yourself captaining a boat
yourself then there are cruise
boats with several different
offers available: lunch or
dinner cruises, or a full-day or
afternoon trip to discover the
plant and animal wildlife and
– on some trips – go through
a lock. The key reason for
building the canals was to
join the Loire to the Seine. To
join the Loire Lateral Canal
to the Briare Canal, a steel
structure was erected above
the Loire. The Briare Canal
Bridge, a 662-metre-long
technical prowess, is listed
as a Historic Monument and
THE ORLEANS CANAL
well worth admiring. Pursue
your exploration of the Loiret
waterways with a visit to
the Two Navies and Briare
Canal Bridge Museum and
the Loire Navy Museum in
Châteauneuf-sur-Loire,
which present the history of
transport on the Loire and
the life of Loire ferryman
with films and collections of
objects and documents.
Inaugurated in 1692, the Orleans
canal links the Loire in Orleans to the
Loing canal. It was a major trade route
until shipping on the Loire came to
an end. It is now dedicated to tourist
boat trips from Combleux to Fayaux-Loges. Travel peacefully along its
shady banks. Walkers will enjoy taking
the towpaths which run alongside the
canal.

Have you always wondered what it’s like to live in a chateau? Far from turning
their back on the present-day, the chateaux in the Loiret invite visitors to

A fascinating defensive castle
The seat of the Capetians and known as the ‘Chateau aux Deux
Visages’, or castle with two faces because of its medieval and
classical facades, Meung-sur-Loire has opened its doors to
some of the greatest names in French history such as François 1
and Louis XI, Joan of Arc and the poet François Villon. There are
new activities in 2012 with visits to the powder room, library, and
storeroom. From May to October there will be an exhibition about
the bishops of Orleans who from the 11th to the 18th century used
the castle as their prestigious residence. And the facetious robot
Walter is back,, to the delight of children. Medieval events with the
Knights’ camp and daily life are still on the program together with
a gastronomic workshop. And finally there is the grand ‘Evenings

with its magnificent architectural heritage (on the World Heritage List). In

I
f you’re looking to put
together a day’s eco-tourism and wellness in the
Loiret, then it could look
something like this. Start
the day with a good bit
of fresh air. Wade into the
water and learn about flyfishing, an art form that is
respectful both of the fish
(which is put back into
the water) and of the environment. For an exciting
spot of angling try hunting
down a European catfish,
a carnivorous fish that can
measure up to 2 metres
long (two Loisirs Accueil

Nature trips
Accommodation providers in the Loiret are bursting
with original and unusual ideas for their guests – and
what with chalets on the banks of the Loire or in the
Sologne, gypsy caravans, yurts, and treehouses,
there is certainly no lack of choice! These forms
of “green” accommodation are fully equipped like
“standard” gites, and sometimes have a wellness
area. They are perfect places for revisiting childhood
dreams and the simple pleasures of life in the open
air for a weekend, far away from the noise of the city.
And that does so much good!
• The Grandes
Bruyères Arboretum is
a remarkable example of
a modern arboretum for
the combined pleasures
of walking and discovery.
Located in the first manmade nature reserve set
up in France in the heart of
the Forest of Orleans, this
arboretum has emerged
from what thirty years
ago was just thickets of
undergrowth. The use of
any form of chemicals,
fertilisers, or weedkillers
is prohibited so as to
preserve the natural
balance of the forest
environment. The reserve
is also an ecological and
ornithological conservation
area, and more than 100
species of birds have been
spotted and identified.
