Ardon (Loiret) walks
Ardon Yellow Route
Route in the forest around Ardon with two sections on district roads. Route poorly marked in yellow.
The Limère sinkholes
The Limère sinkhole park is home to a regional curiosity: sinkholes, underground cavities recognisable by a slight depression colonised by unique vegetation. This short getaway, just a stone's throw from the town of Orléans-la-Source, is not only for geology enthusiasts but for all lovers of natural parks that inspire calm and rest.
The Sologne region around Jouy-le-Potier
The path taken on the way out of the hike, which crosses the Bois du Bignon and then the Bois Brûlé, offers exceptional views due to the slight relief (30m difference in altitude) and undergrowth illuminated by heather, whose purple flowers bloom from late summer to autumn. The dense or sparse vegetation, consisting mainly of deciduous trees, streams and ponds, provides ideal habitats for birds and large wild animals.
The marl pit trail from Mezières-lez-Cléry
It is mainly a forest route that recalls the major development work carried out in Sologne, which began in the second half of the 19th century when marl was extracted and then transported by horse-drawn carts to improve the acidic soil.
Morchêne Park and Stream in Saint-Cyr-en-Val
This walk begins at Morchêne Park in Saint-Cyr-en-Val, with its château, tennis courts, pétanque and beach volleyball courts, and fitness trail, then follows the stream of the same name.
A tree-lined route, very pleasant for a family walk south of the Orléans conurbation.
The Sologne region around La Ferté-Saint-Aubin
A varied route, starting with a winding path along the Cosson, then a forest lane, ending in a maze of narrow streets and then a wooded area with contemporary statues near the Cosson.
Moulins du Loiret from the Parc du Donjon
Well known to the people of Loiret, the charming, shaded walkway of the mills of the Loiret never fails to surprise those who discover it, a place shaped by milling activities that continued for centuries. It is an opportunity to enjoy the calm, cool waters of the river, explore the network of Olivet's narrow streets and appreciate the Donjon and Poutyl parks.
The Varanne tour
On this family outing in Sologne, you may spot a grey heron, a great egret or simply a few ducks.
From Cléry-Saint-André to the Butte des Élus
A circular leading from the Basilica of Cléry-Saint-André, known for its architecture and history, to the enigmatic Butte des Élus, a burial mound dating back to the Iron Age. It is ideal for a family walk in the Val d'Ardoux.
Between the wild banks of the Loiret and the orchards of Saint-Hilaire-Saint-Mesmin
The Loiret river conceals a few secrets hidden in the greenery. To see for yourself, simply follow the trail that runs along its left bank at Saint-Hilaire-Saint-Mesmin, upstream from where it meets the Loire.
Between the lake and the Loiret in Saint Pryvé
A lovely shaded walk where you can discover the mills lining the Loiret river and Lake Saint Pryvé. Several restaurants welcome you on the riverbank.
From Pointe de Courpain to the mills of the Loiret
Located in the Saint-Mesmin nature reserve, at the confluence of the Loire and Loiret rivers, the Pointe de Courpain is known for its cool climate and exceptionally diverse wildlife. You will never tire of admiring the mills on the Loiret river as they change with the seasons.
The Loire from Fourneaux to Saint-Ay, between the Rollin and the Mauve
Nature and culture go hand in hand on the banks of the Loire, between Fourneaux-Plage and Saint-Ay. The landscapes of the Loire, both at water level and higher up, are so beautiful, sometimes breathtaking, that it is easy to understand why the bishops of Orléans and famous men of letters came here on holiday.
The Sologne forest from Ligny-le-Ribault via La Bretèche and La Couvrée
Once you leave the pretty village of Ligny-le-Ribault, the route follows shaded forest paths in the heart of the game-rich Sologne region, offering an opportunity to observe the flora and fauna characteristic of this environment.
