View of the Roche de Solutré
Highlight • Viewpoint
Protected under the law on classified sites and today a Grand Site de France, it draws its fame from several points of interest: a rare geological phenomenon in this region and the eponymous prehistoric site of a Paleolithic culture (the Solutrean), On its summit – which culminates at 493 meters – it shelters a specific environment (the limestone lawns of the Mâconnais) with particular fauna and flora.
Occupied by man for at least 55,000 years, it is also the cradle of Pouilly-Fuissé, a renowned white wine. It was publicized from the 1980s by the ritual ascension of President François Mitterrand accompanied by many friends.

Solutré Rock
Highlight • Natural Monument
The hike to the summit is easy to moderate and very doable for families. It takes about 1 hour for the entire circular route (approx. 4 kilometers round trip).
The elevation gain is around 100 to 140 meters from the official parking lot on well-maintained paths with information boards, although there are many steps.

Solutré Prehistory Museum
Highlight • Historical Site
The finds are exhibited in the Prehistoric Museum in Solutré. This museum was built underground, so as not to disturb the overall impression of this breathtaking landscape, and can only be reached through a small entrance. Nevertheless, the architects were able to relate to the prehistoric site by integrating light and sight shafts. [Https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutr%C3%A9-Pouilly]
