Nestled between Sologne, the national forest of Orléans and Burgundy, Gien is a must for hikers who walk along the Loire. Full of surprises, this small town is renowned for its earthenware, its castle and its excellent wines.
Its dynamic city center invites you to relax. Do not hesitate to extend your stay in this city to discover all its secrets. To the north of the conurbation, the railway station is served daily by trains from Paris or Nevers.

This beautiful Loire town is located at the gateway to Sologne, the Orléans forest and Burgundy.
Gien is known throughout the world for its earthenware, a symbol of French know-how for 200 years.
This is also where we find the first castle of the Loire on the course of the royal river. Built at the end of the 15th century, it dominates the city with its high brick walls.
