Car Hire Montargis

Montargis

Montargis is a small commune in the Loiret department of France, about 70 miles from the heart of Paris. Although Montargis is the second-largest city in Loiret, after the bustling and more popular Orleans, the city doesn't have much to offer when it comes to majestic historic monuments. However, Montargis has a quiet medieval charm, especially in the downtown area, which is hard to find elsewhere.

Montargis is perhaps most famous for its world renowned pralines, a finger-licking crunchy confectionary made from almonds cooked sugar, which was first produced in Montargis during the reign of Louis XIII. Explore the original shop that first confected this sumptuous snack, a must for those with a sweet tooth.

Once you have stored all your pralines, jump in your hire car and head to other parts of the Loiret department, not forgetting the Loire Valley, a stunning destination.

There is a beautiful church located at the centre of Montargis, the Chartres Cathedral - an awesome sight that dominates the skyline. Another good venue to explore is the Chambord Chateau, built by Henry II as his privileged hunting lodge.

Not far from Montargis is another enchanting commune, Fontainebleau. The town is famous for its rich and picturesque Forest of Fontainebleau, a convenient and relaxing gateway for those from big cities. Not to be missed is the magnificent Chateau de Fontainebleau, a remarkable castle with impressive Renaissance architecture.
