Rallye Des Vignobles Cosne Pouilly Sancerre - Bannay 2026

Rallye Des Vignobles Cosne Pouilly Sancerre is a one-day October cycling and walking event based at the camping area in Bannay, France, situated between the Cosne, Pouilly, and Sancerre wine regions. It is organized by UCS Cosne sur Loire under the FFCT cycling-tourism framework, presenting itself more as a mass randonnée than a competitive race. Participants select from road, gravel, mountain bike, cyclo, or walking routes, with choices available for licensed and non-licensed adults and young participants. The route selection offers variety for a village event. Road cyclists can choose loops ranging from 45 km up to 70 km, 90 km, and 100 km. Mountain bikers have courses of 30 km, 50 km, and 60 km, with the longest VTT route designated at a red difficulty level. Gravel riders have had a 70 km option, and some years include walking routes. Aid stations are available on each circuit, a common feed stop serves the road and gravel routes, and the finish area features village activities. The rally's history extends beyond its 45th edition, reflecting its local support and the consistent appeal of cycling through the Cosne-Pouilly-Sancerre vineyards.
