It all starts in Cosne Cours sur Loire, the starting point for a 2-day cycling epic. You leave Burgundy and head north on Eurovelo 6 (known here as the ‘Loire à Vélo’). The route follows the levee that protects the valley and its crops from flooding. A pause for contemplation at Neuvy sur Loire, home to the largest reedbed in Burgundy and a resting place for many migratory birds.
The next day, it's a bit of a climb to reach Sancerre and its peak. We cross the Loire again to discover Pouilly sur Loire. An obligatory stop at the Tour du Pouilly Fumé for a tasting of 4 wines. The return journey is a leisurely one along the banks of the Loire to Cosne Cours sur Loire, our starting and finishing point.
The long, sloping Rue des Vignes leads straight to Le Paradis, with its breathtaking views over the Loire Valley and the unmissable Piton de Sancerre on the horizon. You were right to hire an electric bike.
All along the route, you'll find service providers with the Accueil Vélo label, guaranteeing you a carefree ride.
The "Loire à vélo" is a cycle route that is easily accessible to the whole family. For the more sporty and adventurous, take to our vineyard paths. And if you prefer the forest and the big oak trees, head for Donzy.
