Karting 45

On the banks of the Loire in Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, Karting 45 stretches across 1,200 metres of outdoor track right next to the Fleury Abbey, a Romanesque jewel of the Loiret. The site benefits from a Loire rural setting, in an area where karting shares space with Romanesque heritage, the Loire valley, and the neighbouring Sologne countryside. With a premium format (sessions from €43), the site moves beyond classic leisure karting and aims at experienced drivers and groups seeking a more exclusive experience.

With its 1,200 metres, the open-air layout offers a real driving course : straights long enough to push through the gears and technical sequences that demand precise lines. It's a format that speaks to experienced drivers chasing better lap times, in a setting where equipment and service sit at the higher end. The premium rate reflects this positioning and includes enhanced coaching. The site regularly hosts stag and hen parties, premium corporate seminars, and differentiated team-building events.

Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire is 45 minutes from Orléans via the D60 and 1h30 from Paris via the A10 then the A19. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: the Benedictine Fleury abbey and its still-active monastery, Loire Valley châteaux (Sully-sur-Loire, Gien 30 minutes away), the Sologne and its ponds, or a detour through Orléans and its Sainte-Croix cathedral. An option to slot into a Loire Valley stay in upscale mode, motorsport and Romanesque heritage.
