Saint-Satur Viaduct

This railway viaduct was built in 1893. Now it is dedicated to the cycle path and allows you to admire Saint-Satur and Sancerre from above.

Viaduct from Saint-Germain-du-Puy to Cosne

Highlight • Other

The viaduct that connects Saint-Germain-du-Puy and Cosne is quite impressive. When you pass underneath it along the greenway, you'll realize the scale of the construction.

The place gives its name to one of the most famous white wines of the Loire region, Sancerre. Sancerre was declared an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (abbreviated AOC) on January 23, 1959 (adjustment on March 18, 1998). The total of 2570 hectares of vineyards are west of the Loire. The vineyards are located in a hilly landscape at an altitude of 200 to 300 m above sea level. NN. In addition to Sancerre, the municipalities of Cosne (as the only municipality east of the Loire), Sainte-Gemme, Sury-en Vaux, Verdigny, Chavignol, Ménetou-Ratel, Bué, Crézancy-en-Sancerre, Montigny, Veaugues, Vinon and Thauvenay are in the AOC Sancerre approved (Wikipedia).

It's just a great landscape - there's just so much to discover!
The trip along the canal - a few detours here and there - we'll have to take a lot more time next time!

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.

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.
