Some views of Sancerre

Apart perhaps from some of the upper Loire vineyards like the Côte Roannaise and the Côtes de Forez, Sancerre is visually the Loire's most dramatic appellation. I hope to be back next for part of the 2008 vintage.

View towards Sancerre from cross above Chavignol: autumn 2007

Saint-Satur and Le Canal Latéral à la Loire – built between 1827 and 1838.
The canal runs from Briare to Digoin: autumn 2007
