Tips from the Community
The Col de Beaufer is located in the Monts du Mâconnais, west of Tournus in the Saône-et-Loire department. With a height of only 303 meters, it is more of a gentle transition between the hills of the Tournugeois than a distinct mountain pass. The surrounding area is characterized by forests, meadows, and the typical wine landscapes of southern Burgundy. The pass is the starting point for several hiking and mountain biking trails, which lead through Plottes and the surrounding hills, among other places. The area "Le Cra et Col de Beaufer" is also designated as an ecologically valuable nature zone and covers around 982 hectares.

The Rock of Solutré is a world-famous, 493-meter-high limestone rock in the south of the Burgundy region. It is located amidst the picturesque vineyards of the municipality of Solutré-Pouilly. The region is officially designated as a Grand Site de France. The hike to the summit is easy to moderate and very doable for families. It takes about 1 hour for the entire loop (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 panels, although there are many steps.

The origins of the hilltop castle date back to the 9th and 10th centuries. It is considered an outstanding example of the evolution of military architecture from the High Middle Ages (Carolingian period) to the Wars of Religion in the 16th century, during which it was looted and partially destroyed. Highlights include the ruins of the monumental manor hall from the year 1000 (Logis de l'An Mil) as well as the over 20-meter-high keep (Donjon), which offers a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view over the Grosne valley and the surrounding Burgundian vineyards.
