Saint-Satur

Saint-Satur presents many tourist and architectural interests.

The Saint-Pierre abbey, listed in the Historic Monuments, was built from the 14th century and bears witness to the powerful abbey that was established on the banks of the Loire. Formerly belonging to the order of Saint Augustine, it now serves as the parish church in the city.

As you walk around Saint-Satur, you can also admire the curvilinear viaduct made entirely of stone, which once supported the railway track. The train does not pass there any more but do not hesitate to take this viaduct, on foot, by bike or by car, in order to benefit from the point of view which it offers on the city and the vineyard which surrounds it.

The landscaped edges of the Loire are the ideal place for Sunday walks and family picnics. At the edge of the river, in the historic district of "Saint-Thibault", you will be able to find the vestiges of the mariners of the Loire who were installed there, very close to the river, and in particular the chapel of the latter.

For a stroll on the river, take the Raboliot! Its captain, Sylvain, will make you discover the richness of the flora and fauna of this river.

The weekly Saint-Satur market is held on Thursday mornings. Garage sales, nocturnal or not, take place regularly throughout the year.

In April, the city presents the election of Miss Orchid, chosen among the young girls of Saint-Satur.

On July 14, for the National Day, the city offers fireworks, a ball and a torchlight retreat.

Every year, at the beginning of August, Saint-Satur offers its big fair with the presentation of old vehicles, and exhibitors of the soil or crafts.

Saint-Satur is located on the Loire à Vélo route which, over 900 km and from Cuffy, leads to the Atlantic. This cycle touring route runs along the royal river and allows you to discover many landscapes, towns and monuments.

A few kilometers from Saint-Satur is the town of Sancerre, the name of which was given to the wines produced in the appellation. The town, located on a peak at an altitude of 300 m, offers a spectacular viewpoint over Saint-Satur, the Loire and the vineyards.

To discover the wines produced in the different communes of the appellation, follow the Route du Vignoble and discover the slopes and landscapes of Sancerrois.
