Mâcon
In the heart of the Burgundy wine region, the city of Mâcon offers a sensory journey from its historic architecture to its exquisite vineyards.
Since the days of ancient Rome, the Saône River has been at the heart of the city's life, and today it can be enjoyed from the riverside walk, or its yacht-filled harbour.
The city's shops and markets offer plenty in the way of local handicrafts, and architectural highlights include both the remains of the original cathedral and its more modern replacement, while Mâcon's parks and gardens are award-winning.
Of course, the area's vineyards are well worth a visit, however, there is plenty more to Mâcon's cuisine than just wine, with specialties ranging from fish to cheese, chocolates, cakes and the famous poulet de Bresse, all waiting to be enjoyed.
