GR®3 in Burgundy

Reconnect with the river Loire

Your walk along the Burgundian section of the river Loire will lead you right along the riverbanks and up over the hills overlooking the right banks. The scenery is a real treat and an invitation to just contemplate your surroundings.

Of the countless wild landscapes you'll be crossing through, you'll particularly appreciate:

• the wooded countryside of Saône-et-Loire with meadows, hedgerows, and little dry stone walls as far as the eye can see.
• You'll also be amazed by the Bec d’Allier. This is where the Loire and Allier rivers merge and it is an exceptional natural sight that will remind you of the Amazon. These waters are also home to some rare species.

If you are interested in local animal species, take the time to wander around the Pavillon du Milieu de Loire. This visitor's centre for nature and the environment can provide you with an infinite amount of information and there are events and entertainment organised on the theme of the local environment.
