La Roche de Solutré

Situated at the heart of the Solutré Pouilly Vergisson Grand Site de France, the Roche de Solutré is a spectacular limestone escarpment rising up through the vineyards of the Mâconnais to an altitude of 493 metres. Along with the Roche de Vergisson and Mont Pouilly, it is part of the Grands Sites de France network.

Visit the Solutré Prehistory Museum, which houses collections from a prehistoric site at the foot of the Roche de Solutré that has been occupied for at least 50,000 years. The Maison du Grand Site opens its doors to you for information, a visit or a coffee break.

From the Roche car park, you can climb the Roche de Solutré on foot. With no major difficulties, the 4-kilometre route has a difference in altitude of around 100 metres. Along the way, you'll come across a series of reading tables inviting you to explore the many facets of this historic site. The path has been carefully laid out for your comfort, but be warned: there are many steps making it inaccessible by pushchair or bicycle.

The Solutré Pouilly Vergisson Grand Site de France is both a protected natural area and a renowned tourist attraction. A programme of activities is on offer throughout the year, including numerous walking and cycling routes.
