Our Pouilly-sur-Loire Tourist Office informs and receives you every day during summer time, do not hesitate to ask them, they are the firsts to know what is going on in Pouilly.

– You wish to deepen your knowledge about vineyard? You can visit ‘La Tour du Pouilly-Fumé’ unique and high-quality oeno-tourist center, even more interesting since the coming of the Aroma’s cellar: ten glass bubbles open to your nose introducing the Pouilly-Fumés and Pouilly-sur-Loire’s aromatic families. Every single bubble is made up only with natural products; it is beautiful and it smells good!

– Do not forget ‘Le Pavillon du milieu de Loire’ or great discoveries about our wild river … At the same time playful and didactic, they organize observation trips to see the Loire beaver, or even ‘nature’ activities for children and teenagers.

– After a visit to ‘La Tour du Pouilly-Fumé’, you can relax to La Cave de Sel’ (the ‘Salt Cellar’). It’s a concept unique in the world; you can breathe the pure salt from Klodawa salt-mine in Poland. Relaxed, full of trace elements and after a massage or a modelling, you will come back appeased!

– You can also visit La Maison des Sancerre’, another address not to be missed in Sancerre’s vineyard. A little further, but so interesting, you can visit : Guédelon they are building a fortified castle with bare hands, your children will love to discover the workshops and the jobs from the past.
