Twinned with Milly-la-Forêt
You can click on the orange man and drag to anywhere on the map that goes blue and then you will be able to see a street view of Milly.
Set in the South of the department of the Essonne, at the centre of the Gâtinais Français Regional park, the land of a ‘thousand clearings and sandstone,’ this unspoilt rural village is just 55km from Paris.
The discovery of prehistoric remains indicates that Milly has been inhabited for millennia but it remains a charming and authentic French market town with its wooden ‘Halle’ or covered marketplace remaining the focus of the square as it has been for centuries.
Originally at the crossroads of the old post routes from Paris to Lyon and from Fontainbleau to Orleans, the October fairs were famous and as many as 45,000 sheep and 600 cows could be found there.
