Walk in the footsteps of history which left essential marks on our country - a country of men who built with their inspiration for foundation. Set off for an open-air reading of history which takes you on a fascinating journey through the centuries. The Loiret châteaux are intimate, impressive or unusual - and always fascinating. Châteaux like the elegant fortress at Sully-sur-Loire recall the glorious days of the Middle Ages; others, like that at Chamerolles recall the Renaissance, Meung-sur-Loire and the Château de la Ferté-Saint-Aubin in the heart of Sologne. You can also come and savour their romantic atmosphere, for example at the Château de La Bussière. Discover exceptional collections in our museums which celebrate hunting or pottery at Gien, enamels at Briare, the grand masters at the Musée des Beaux-Arts at Orléans, the history and traditions of Gâtinais at Montargis - and much more besides. Relive the highlights which made our history so exiting - and explore them in your own time.
