Montargis (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃taʁʒi]) is a commune in the Loiret department, Centre-Val de Loire, France.[3]
Montargis is the seventh most populous commune in the Centre-Val de Loire région, and the second in the Loiret département after Orléans. It is near a large forest, and contains light industry and farming, including saffron. Due to its numerous canals and bridges, Montargis sometimes bills itself as the "Venice of the Gâtinais." Though quite modern, it retains a medieval charm in its downtown area.
