Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire

Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire has served as a market town on the Loire in Burgundy since the Middle Ages. On the river’s eastern bank in the Nièvre department, it faces the Centre-Val de Loire region and stands within a long-established trading corridor. The Musée de la Loire, installed in a former Augustinian convent, documents navigation, fishing and working life on the river. The present commune dates from 1973, when Cosne-sur-Loire and Cours were united. Vineyards around nearby Pouilly-sur-Loire produce Pouilly-Fumé, a Sauvignon Blanc appellation closely associated with this stretch of the Loire.
