Viaduc de Saint-Satur

The Viaduc de Saint-Satur is a railway viaduct in Saint-Satur that spans across a valley landscape with multiple stone arches, connecting both sides of the terrain. The structure rises significantly above ground level and provides a continuous passage over the lower-lying areas.

The structure was built in 1893 and originally served as a vital railway link for moving goods and passengers through the region. It was later converted into a cycling and pedestrian path, transforming its role from industrial transport to recreational use.

The viaduct sits within the Sancerre wine region, where travelers can observe traditional vineyards covering the surrounding hillsides from the bridge itself. Its position directly connects the structure to the agricultural character and wine production that defines this part of the Loire Valley.

Cyclists and pedestrians can access the structure through designated pathways that link to other local routes and form part of a broader network. The surface is generally well maintained and provides safe passage for non-motorized users.

From above, the structure offers an unobstructed view of the Loire Valley and the medieval town of Sancerre perched on a distant hilltop. Many visitors overlook this vantage point while focusing on the bridge's historical details.
