Loiret sits just south of Paris and offers a classic combination of royal heritage, Loire Valley charm, and green living. It’s a department of gardens, châteaux, and easy connections to the capital.

​

Orléans, the capital, is a vibrant city with Joan of Arc history, grand architecture, and a youthful energy. Other towns include Montargis, the “Venice of the Gâtinais”; Gien, known for its faience pottery; and Pithiviers, with its culinary delights.

​

The Loire River, Orléans Forest, and numerous parks make it a green and accessible region. Historic estates, abbeys, and Renaissance châteaux dot the landscape.

​

Properties here include manor houses, town villas, stone farmhouses, and modern homes close to Paris. It’s an appealing option for families, retirees, and commuters seeking balance.
