Sancerre
Sancerre is located in the Cher department, to the north-east of Bourges.It is at the eastern edge of the Loire region, close to the border with Burgundy.
Best know for its white wine, Sancerre village stands on a low hill from where you can look out over miles of the surrounding vineyards.
It is an attractive village, with picturesque streets and an impressive number of unspoiled ancient houses to explore. There are a lot of 'wine caves' where you can try and buy the local wines.
The village originally grew around a castle - at one time among the most important chateaux in the region, but it was destroyed early in the 17th century and all that remains now is the keep, known as the Tour des Fiefs; and the belfry (now the belltower for the Church Saint-Jean de Sancerre) dates back to 1509.
Apart from the very highly regarded Sancerre wine, another local product is also held in esteem - the goat's cheese known as Crotton de Chavignol.
Other popular activities include walking and cycling in the region, and canoeing on the Loire River.
