About Montargis

Montargis is a cooperative in the Loiret division in north-focal France on the Loing stream. The town is situated around 110 km south of Paris and 70 km east of Orleans in the Gatinais. Montargis is the second biggest city in the Loiret, after Orleans. It is almost a substantial backwoods, and contains light industry and cultivating, including saffron. Because of its various trenches and extensions, Montargis here and there bills itself as the "Venice of the Gatinais." Though very current, it holds a medieval appeal in its downtown region.

In spite of the fact that the town is known to date to old occasions, amid the Renaissance whimsical historical underpinnings were developed to represent the spot name Montargis, regardless of whether as mons argi, Mount of Argus, where the envious goddess Juno accused Argus Panoptes of guarding her opponent Io, or associated with the chieftain Moritas referenced by Julius Caesar, in his Gallic Wars. Various Gallo-Roman antiquities have been found in the region, and many are in the town's Gatinais Museum. Pralines, the crunchy sweet produced using almonds in cooked sugar, were first confected in Montargis in the season of Louis XIII. The first shop is still in business on Place Mirabeau.
