Tourism in Saône-et-Loire

The Tour de France in Mâcon

Saône-et-Loire is one of the four departments of Burgundy. Tourism in this region is founded on its varied landscape (the Saône plain, the Mâconnais, and the Charolais), its gastronomy with the prestigious mâconnais wines, the charolais beef, the poulet de Bresse (Bresse chicken), and its rich architectural sites, (Autun, Cluny, Paray-le-Monial, and Tournus)
