Montargis is a commune of the Loiret département in France. The town is located about 110 km south of Paris and 70km east of Orléans, on the Loing river, at the heart of a region known as the Gâtinais.
Montargis is the second largest city in the Loiret, 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.
