Day 1: Mâcon
Arrival in Mâcon.
Free visit of the city. The foundation of ancient Mâcon dates back to the 2nd century BC. Very quickly, the city became a crossroads of communication. As a border town between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Germanic Empire between 843 and 1600, Mâcon prospered thanks to the customs duties introduced. In 1790, Mâcon became the capital of the department of Saône-et-Loire and saw the birth of one of its most famous children: Alphonse de Lamartine. An active centre of the Resistance during the Second World War, Mâcon was the first town in the free zone between Paris and Lyon.
