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.

Granges Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château des Granges was built in the 16th century. It has been greatly altered over the centuries but its moats have survived and they are still fed by the waters of the Nohain. This castle located in Suilly La Tour is listed as a World Heritage Site, in particular for its roof and facades. The castle is private, but its park is open access all summer.

Saint-Martin Church of Saint-Martin-sur-Nohain

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Saint Martin sur Nohain dates from the end of the 12th – beginning of the 13th century. The village was called Saint-Martin-du-Tronsec. But at the end of the 19th century, the capital of the commune was transferred to the hamlet of Nohain, for its more central position. The church was dismantled and rebuilt in its current location.
