France: The Town of Sancerre
Sancerre is a medieval hilltop town, commune and canton in the Cher department of central France overlooking the Loire River. The town is a cobweb of twisted streets with many buildings surviving from the Middle Ages. Sancerre is located 310 meters above sea level, on an isolated mountain, attached to the hills of the natural region of Sancerrois and whose summit dominates the level of the Loire several hundred meters.
The town is about two kilometers from the left bank of the Loire and its confluence with the Vauvise, the lateral canal to the Loire and 43 km north-east of the Cher prefecture, Bourges. The city stretches on the steepest slope, located southwest, from the base of the hill to the summit1. Sancerre offers a panorama of its vineyards and the banks of the Loire.
