Geography
Lamotte-Beuvron is located in the natural region of Sologne on the banks of the Beuvron river, about 30 km south of Orléans. It is in the heart of "Grande Sologne," a forested area stretching over 1,930 square miles and containing hundreds of ponds, making the region a popular destination for hunting and fishing. Sologne is one of the richest regions in France in big game (including deer and wild boar) and game birds (including pheasants, doves and pigeons, and woodcocks). Lamotte-Beuvron station has rail connections to Orléans and Vierzon.
