Itinerary description

Day 15 Briare to Sancerre 50.6 km
We spentmMuch of the day along the tree shaded banks of the Canal latéral à la Loire. We stopped and bought baguette sandwiches and Pain au chocolat at Boulangerie Mosca (N47.50723° E2.85207°). A short ride down to La Gabare des Saveures for coffee to go with the Pain au chocolat. We saved the sandwiches for later. We stopped for a picnic lunch on the dike along the Loire then made our way to Sancerre. The final climb up to Sancerre is brutal! There are two options for the final climb into town. The longer and “LIGTH” (sic) route has an incline of 5% and the “HARD” route has an incline of 45%. Guess which one we took? And no, it wasn’t the “HARD” route but it was still very hard! Julia may have had “a moment” at the top. After a shower and some A/C at our hotel, the Brit Hotel Le Clos St Martin (N47.33245° E2.83947°), she was feeling much better. We headed out to explore the town and to sample some of the excellent local wines. It may have been the chance to sample the Pouilly-Fumé that really got here out of the room.
