General presentation
Mâcon et sud Bourgogne
Saône, limestone, vineyards, villages, Solutré, nearby Cluny and sweet Burgundy.
To understand what Mâcon and southern Burgundy are, you have to look at Roche de Solutré, Mâcon and Vineyards. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by riverscapes, countryside, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: heat possible in summer. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Natural site
Roche de Solutré
La Roche de Solutré immediately marks the landscape with a very legible rock mass, with lines of view that structure the entire route around it. Gradually climbing allows us to understand its relationship with the surrounding countryside and villages. The panorama changes according to the light and rewards a patient approach.
City
Mâcon
Mâcon combines urban dynamics with Ligerian breath: docks, shopping streets, venals and neighbourhood elbows. The place is better served by taking a sensitive walk, between active areas and more intimate corners. The colours of the stone and roofs become deeper when the use drops.
Village
Pouilly-Fuissé
Pouilly-Fuissé has a discreet force carried by the rhythm of roads and hills, with perspectives that articulate terroir and surrounding villages. A non-hurried walk lets see the variations of light on the slopes and the order of the places. The charm comes from the transitions between nature and built.
