A LITTLE HISTORY
Located in BERRY, Sancerre from its rocky peak of 300m above sea level, overlooks the splendid panorama of the Loire Valley.
Etienne de Champagne, 1st count of Sancerre, in the 12th century built a fortified castle and fortified the city which played a preponderant role in the Middle Ages. Hundred years war, wars of religion, (memorable siege in 1573 of the city which became Huguenot for a time) royalist uprising known as '' La Vendée Sancerroise '' during the Revolution, were the most significant events in its history from the 12th century to the end of the 17th century. From this period, Sancerre lost its strategic importance and had to submit to the laws of the State despite its rebellious nature. Chief town of the district in the year VIII of the first Republic, the city was beheaded intellectually in 1926 by the suppression of its sub-prefecture and independent administrative services. At the start of this third millennium, Sancerre remains a city where life is good: capital of two gastronomic products that meet the A. O.C (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) label: Sancerre Wine and Crottin de Chavignol. These advantages make it one of the busiest tourist hubs in the Center Region.
