At the crossroads of the Loire and the Nohain, Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire has occupied a privileged position since Gallo-Roman times: this bend on the right bank of the Loire was an ideal place to settle and live peacefully without lacking anything. Close to Pouilly-sur-Loire and its renowned wine, the town of Cosne and its surroundings enjoy a remarkable built and natural heritage. The picture at left shows the Nohain River joining the Loire. The river itself (middle right hand side) is far more impressive than it apperars in this photo. A pleasant half day can be spent wandering the waterfronts and on Wednesday, Friday & Sundays it joins the markets at the Rue St Agnan. In the walk around town slideshow there is a huge pantech which is how markets are run these days.
