The GR®3, the wild Loire on foot

The first official signposted GR® in France was the GR® 3, a route that crosses 3 regions and 12 départements over 1243 kilometres, linking the source of the Loire and its mouth.
In Burgundy, you'll discover 215km of landscapes and sites to visit.
Along the way, you'll be able to admire the Saône-et-Loire bocage countryside, with its meadows, dry-stone walls and hedgerows.
You can also admire the Bec d'Allier, where the Loire and Allier rivers meet. It's well worth the diversions.
On your way, why not stop off at the Pavillon du Milieu de Loire in Pouilly-sur-Loire. This house of nature and the environment opens its doors to you, as well as those of its rooms.
A visit to the Musée de la Loire is also highly recommended! The combination of the river and the fine arts will make your visit unforgettable.
You'll also pass by the Pouilly vineyards, where you'll have the chance to admire the vines that will make the wines of tomorrow.
And, of course, the towns and villages you will pass through will be unmissable stops along your journey, and unfailing sources of history thanks to their tangible and intangible heritage.
