Served by the Transilien line , Montargis is a surprising destination.

The city is crossed by numerous canals and 132 bridges and footbridges, earning it the nickname Venice of Gâtinais. Its quays, small squares, and colorful alleys make it a perfect spot for a springtime stroll by the water.

Things to do there:

• discover the "remains" of Montargis castle on the heights of the city
• wander along the Briare canal and its flowered quays
• explore the historic center and have lunch on a terrace
• visit the Girodet museum, the works of Anne-Louis Girodet and other art collections
• taste the praslines, a local sweet specialty.

Less than an hour by train from Paris via the Transilien line , Dreux is an ideal city for a cultural outing.

The most famous site is the royal estate of Dreux and the royal chapel of Dreux, necropolis of the Orléans family, recognizable by its neo-Gothic architecture.

The city also offers:

• a lively historic city center and its local market
• the Mézières-Écluzelles pond for a picnic
• the Dreux Museum of Art and History, which displays, among others, works by Claude Monet or Maurice de Vlaminck

The region is also popular for outdoor activities. The Scandibérique, a major European cycle route, crosses the area and allows you to follow the river and its villages.

Located on the Transilien line , Montfort-l'Amaury charms with its medieval atmosphere and natural setting at the edge of the forest.

The village is easy to explore on a walk:
