Tips from the Community
This tower in Pouilly-sur-Loire serves as a tourist information center, but also represents the region's wines. You can take a tour to learn about winemaking in Pouilly and experience the difference between Pouilly-sur-Loire and Pouilly Fumé wines, and taste the wines at a small wine tasting held on-site.

Rivers and canals crisscross the country, the latter in particular being a crucial part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Later, first rail, and later again trucks, took over the task of transporting goods. In the competition between different modes of transport, they were faster and cheaper than barges – and thus more efficient. When building the artificial waterways, however, it had to be taken into account that differences in elevation always had to be overcome, and so locks are often lined up along the canals – at varying intervals, depending on the local situation. Only with their help was shipping possible.

It's not an exceptional site but pretty all the same, however we were very disappointed by the rest of the route. The countryside is not great in this part of France, there are a lot of cars on the roads.

Ideal for a short detour during a trip along the Loire. A friendly little village, especially if you want to taste wine: the choice is very wide and the quality is there.
