Comment
The Solutré rock is a limestone escarpment overlooking the commune of Solutré-Pouilly, 8 km west of Mâcon. It is an emblematic site in Saône-et-Loire, in the south of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.Protected under the law on listed sites and now a Grand Site de France, its fame stems from several points of interest: a rare geological phenomenon in this region and the eponymous prehistoric site of a Paleolithic culture (the Solutréen), it shelters on its summit - which rises to 493 meters - a specific environment (the calcareous grasslands of the Mâconnais) with a particular flora and fauna.
Occupied by man for at least 55,000 years, it is also the birthplace of Pouilly-Fuissé, a renowned white wine. From the 1980s onwards, the climb became a media event, with the ritual ascent of President François Mitterrand accompanied by a host of friends.
