Your adventure will then take you to a place steeped in history, an ancient Gallo-Roman seaside resort in Bannay. Following the Canal du Berry, you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and discover the natural beauty of the region.

As you advance, the landscape changes to reveal Sancerre's renowned vineyards and prestigious golf course. As you approach the birthplace of the vines, you'll be able to admire the rolling green hills for which this exceptional wine-growing region is renowned.

Whether you're with family, friends or even as a couple, the Cyclorail du Sancerrois is a fun activity that combines discovery, relaxation and sport.
