10,96 km cycling route from Pouilly-sur-Loire to Sancerre

This is a short, easy Loire à Vélo stage, encouraging you to enter Sancerre’s glorious hilly countryside and taste its famed wines. Here you can mix cycling with gastronomy and oenology, of course making sure you drink in moderation! A detour up to the historic town of Sancerre itself is highly recommended.

Take care crossing the bridge over the Loire at Pouilly. Otherwise, there are no difficulties on this stage, unless you are bold enough to take on the steep route up to the town of Sancerre.

Link

There are two ways up to the town of Sancerre: via the lower town of St-Satur, going via the old viaduct; or via a greenway signposted from the Canal Latéral à la Loire to the north of St-Satur (coming from the direction of Briare).
