Frühstück: Kaffee und Croissant - und wo am Besten?

Highlight • Other

Experience has taught us that we should get the croissants from the boulangerie and then sit down for coffee in a PMU or/and FDJ bar.
The coffee was always the best there! And be careful when choosing the boulangerie!
Otherwise, the croissants in France could be bland and the coffee awful! - as is unfortunately the case here too.

Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire Town Center and Market

Highlight • Settlement

Gateway to Burgundy as you go up the course of the Loire, Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire is a charming Loire town. Its shopping town center is lively with its stores, restaurants and accommodation. Every Wednesday and Sunday the largest market in the department is held there. Also, the railway station is served daily by the Paris-Nevers axis.

Boisrond Lock

Highlight • Structure

The Boisrond lock in Bannay was built in 1838, at the same time as the Loire Lateral Canal. It was accompanied by the original lock house, which housed the lock keeper and his family. The locks are manually operated by the boaters themselves using a crank handle.

Saint-Julien de Bannay church

Highlight • Historical Site

This church has two unusual towers built in 1781 which complement the choir rebuilt 300 years earlier after the Wars of Religion. Recent restorations have saved this beautiful work from ruin.

Poppy field with exemplary character

Highlight • Other

that's a dream of a poppy field.
I've never seen so many poppy fields as here in France. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to photograph them all - my wife was annoyed by the constant stopping.
But I couldn't drive past this poppy field.

Suspension Bridge of Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire

Highlight • Bridge

Since there is no cycle path or cycle lane on these two bridges, one behind the other, you have to ride on the road. The only obstacle is the very long bridges.
The oncoming traffic (including trucks) and the vehicles overtaking me (trucks and cars) were, however, considerate of us cyclists!

At this point I would like to say that the French are the most considerate nation towards cyclists (+pedestrians) that I have ever experienced.
