The Loire à Vélo from Pouilly-sur-Loire to Sancerre

Highlight (Segment) • Other

In the heart of the Loire Valley nature reserve, this part of the "Loire à Vélo" is very quiet, without a car, the roadway is wide enough and the surface is of high quality.

Canal latéral à la Loire

Highlight • Other

If the Loire is a must for cycle tourism, we must not forget its lateral canal, which offers a more isolated setting. 196 kilometers long, it is perfectly equipped for bicycles on this section.

Cycle path along the Loire

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Superb section of the “La Loire à Vélo” cycle path, far from motorized traffic and surrounded by nature, between the wild Loire and the fields that border it. Perfectly marked and sufficiently wide track, surface in excellent condition.

View of the Loire at Pouilly-sur-Loire

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
