Pannes

Pannes is a small rural village in the Loiret department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France, close to Château-Renard and not far from Orléans. This village in the Gâtinais area sits within a typical agricultural plain landscape, dotted with cereal fields and pockets of woodland, offering a calm, green setting well suited to countryside stays. The village retains an authentic character, with its church and traditional stone buildings reflecting the rural history of the area. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking and cycling, allowing visitors to explore neighbouring Gâtinais villages and their understated yet charming heritage. The wider Loiret department, rich in history, offers nearby attractions including châteaux, state forests, and riverside spots along the Loing or Loire depending on how far one travels.
