THE HISTORIC CENTRE OF THE TOWN OF COSNE-COURS-SUR-LOIRE
Historical center to admire the stained glass windows of the Saint-Jacques church
Wander the streets of Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire, and discover the unsuspected treasures of the city. Bathed by the royal river, the city of the Loire offers visitors various facets: here the Eden cinema with its splendid Art Deco facade, there the Loire Museum, and along the streets the remains of the old medieval castle or those of the Notre-Dame de Galles chapel. Don't miss to admire the stained glass windows of the Saint-Jacques church. And for the picture hunters and lovers of old stones, the site of the Forges de la Chaussade as well as the Place des Marronniers give for one a beautiful view of the former industrial site which until 1872 manufactured anchors for the sea navy, and for the other a magnificent panorama of the Loire with the suspension bridge, the beaches, the Island of Cosne and its shady walks. Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire can be guessed and never ceases to surprise.
A booklet about this escapade is available at the Loire Vignobles et Nohain, Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire and Pouilly-sur-Loire Tourist Offices, or can be downloaded directly from the website. Finally, please note that the Loire Vignobles et Nohain Tourist Office rents electrically-assisted bicycles, mountain bikes and mountain bikes, for young and old, for half a day or a full day, to set off on the small and large paths of the Cosnois countryside!
