We rode bikes through the countryside one morning. This is an old Roman viaduct that runs through the town of St. Satur. The modern road runs under it. We rode our bikes around it, and also rode over it. It is an amazing piece of architecture!
Sancerre sits on top of a hill, and the view from anywhere in the town is one of great beauty. This is an area of vineyards and wine-making. They grow the pinot noir and the sauvignon blanc, so there is great red and white wine, but they also blend them for a delicious rose.
Here Shannon is riding across the Roman viaduct that runs through the town. The viaduct is a splendid example of something that is well built. I wasn't sure at first if it was modern because it is so perfect.
Behind Shannon is the hill we must ride up to get back to Sancerre. Needless to say, I won't be riding in the Tour de France anytime soon!
