Gidy

Gidy is a commune in the Loiret department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region, located around fifteen kilometres north of Orléans. The village sits within the agricultural landscape of the Beauce plain, known for its vast cereal fields, and benefits from a strategic position close to the A10 motorway, making it a convenient stopover for journeys between Paris and south-western France. The commune is also home to a well-established logistics activity zone, which contributes to its economic activity. The village centre retains a rural character, with its church and traditional houses typical of the region. The surrounding countryside offers opportunities for walks through the open Beauce farmland, appreciated for its expansive rural scenery. Its proximity to Orléans provides easy access to the city's cultural and historical attractions, including its cathedral and historic centre.
