Jargeau (French pronunciation: [ʒaʁʒo]) is a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France.

It lies about 119 km (74 mi) south of Paris.

Geography

[edit]

The town is located in the French natural region of the Loire Valley, the former province of Orleans and the urban area of Orleans. It has a flat terrain with an altitude of about 100 metres (330 ft). The maximum elevation is 108 metres (354 ft) where the church stands, and the minimum of 97 metres (318 ft).[3] Its territory is included in the southern part of the Paris Basin and therefore has the basin's geological features.

The Loire flows along the north edge of town.[4] The river is mostly underground, which can cause circular bed collapses called Bîmes, making the sandy shores unstable. Like all cities located on the course of the Loire and in the southern Paris Basin, Jargeau is in middle Loire. The Marmagne, a tributary of the Dhuy, runs through the southeastern area of the municipality.
