GR®31 Across Sologne

From Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire (Nievre) to Blois (Loir-et-Cher)

The GR®31 crosses the Sologne region from east to west, starting in Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire and ending in Blois, the royal city on the banks of the Loire. This itinerary is an exploration of a mysterious region, characterized by its thousands of misty ponds, heather moors, and dense forests of birch and pine. It is an exceptional sanctuary for wildlife, particularly for large game such as red deer and wild boar, as well as a multitude of migratory birds. The built heritage consists of red brick houses and numerous secluded castles. The trail offers a peaceful, flat hike, deeply rooted in hunting and forestry traditions, concluding majestically in the Loire Valley.
