This ford can be deep enough to get your feet wet. There is no footbridge and the bottom is made of fairly large stones. Possibility of bypassing this passage by continuing straight on at the previous junction... but that's a shame.

Belaine Ford Crossing

Highlight • River

Ford which is easily crossed in summer. The bottom is hard without stone. If necessary, walkway on the side.

Saint-Julien de Bannay church

Highlight • Historical Site

This church has two unusual towers built in 1781 which complement the choir rebuilt 300 years earlier after the Wars of Religion. Recent restorations have saved this beautiful work from ruin.

May 24, 2025,Verdigny, un tour au nord de Sancerre🍇

This tour starts in the vineyards above Verdigny with some steep climbs from the start: Verdigny, Sury and St Gemme🥵. Then it's calmer going to Boulleret then Bannay and we find beautiful slopes after St Satur for the return to our starting point. A few fords, beautiful single tracks for this circuit without real technical difficulties but with beautiful views …

Circuit based on N°33 and 49 of the VTT-FFC area "between Bourges, Menetou-Salon, Sancerre".
Not too much sun today for this route, largely in the Sancerrois vineyard, interspersed with pretty wooded sections. The difficulty lies at the end of the tour with three climbs on the vineyard routes above Sury-en-Vaux. It's concrete, it rolls well... but it stings the thigh!
