‘Loire KM500, you've reached your destination!

Some people explore lands 20,00 feet under the sea.
Here, set foot on land, put down your suitcases and travel to the centre of the Loire. In Burgundy, between the banks of the Loire and the vineyards, between mills and timber-framed houses, you have reached the middle of the Loire, a wild river whose impetuosity is equalled only by its poetry.

KM 500

In Pouilly sur Loire, at the bridge, be sure to take the traditional photo in front of the mid-Loire marker. You're exactly in the Nièvre department, in the Bourgogne Franche Comté region, halfway between Mont Gerbier de Jonc and the mouth of the river.

Taste

the heart of a chavignol goat cheese

Eaten at any time of day, it's the region's favourite snack. Depending on taste, it can be eaten young, with a hint of blossom or even ironed... There's something for everyone, but don't leave without discovering the creaminess that lies at its heart.
