As part of our Upper Loire barge cruise, we visit the charming village of Montargis. Here is what to expect:
Montargis features narrow streets with centuries-old half-timbered houses and flower-filled balconies. Gaze in awe at the Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Montargis, a remarkable Gothic church with stunning stained glass. Enjoy moments of relaxation in cozy cafés with exquisite French coffee.
Known as “The Venice of the Gâtinais,” Montargis is renowned for its scenic canals. Take in the soothing canalside atmosphere, surrounded by lush greenery – a tranquil retreat complementing your C’est La Vie experience. Cross ‘The Victor Hugo Footbridge,’ named after the famed French writer known for classics like “Les Misérables” and “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.”
Visiting Montargis is like stepping into a vintage postcard, where the town’s history comes to life in every cobblestone, every half-timbered house, and every winding canal. As you explore this charming village, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the echoes of centuries past, creating an unforgettable experience that transports you to a bygone era.
