It is one of the most emblematic sites in Burgundy. Perhaps the most iconic. The ROCHE DE <\/strong> SOLUTR\u00c9<\/b>, classified as the Grand Site de France since 2013, stands like a majestic sphinx in the middle of the vineyards of southern Burgundy, in the heart of the M\u00e2connais region. Made famous by Fran\u00e7ois Mitterrand’s annual pilgrimage, this beautiful natural site of Burgundy deserves you to do like the French president and climb this rock.<\/p>\r\n

A unique natural site<\/h2>\r\n

The rock of Solutr\u00e9 is located in the vineyards of M\u00e2connais. All around the rock and the village of Solutr\u00e9-Pouilly lie, among others, the appellations of Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9 and Saint-V\u00e9ran. Two wines representative of this white wine terroir where the Chardonnay grape variety is king. These vines serve as a setting for the rock. This stone vessel rises to an altitude of 493 meters. Born from a phenomenon of rare geological erosion in the region, this limestone rock stands out in the middle of rolling and rounded landscapes, like its neighbors Vergisson or Pouilly. Before you start the climb of the rock, you can already admire it from the surrounding terrain. For photo lovers, it is probably at his feet that the Roche expresses all its greatness. From the Vergisson rock, you will also discover beautiful views of Solutr\u00e9 and the surrounding landscapes.<\/p>\r\n

For the walk to the top of the rock of Solutr\u00e9, you can park in the parking lot at its feet. The walk to the top takes about 1 hour round trip, with a vertical drop of 100 meters, and does not involve any major difficulty. At the start of the car park, a 4 km marked trail leads you to its summit. The itinerary is punctuated by reading tables that will inform you about the many facets of the place. Beware, however, the trail has many steps, so you will not be able to take strollers, bikes, etc.<\/p>\r\n

\"Camping<\/p>\r\n

Once at the top, the view is a reward. Your gaze embraces much of the M\u00e2connais. The landscape is divided into a multitude of vine plots. You can also see the villages that gave their names to the appellations: Solutr\u00e9-Pouilly, Fuiss\u00e9, Priss\u00e9, etc. On your right, Vergisson’s rock, which rises to 485 meters, completes the picture. To fully appreciate the view, a virtual orientation table is available on the Solutr\u00e9 Rando app (available on Ios or Android store). It will place for you the names of the surrounding villages and natural sites. If the sky is clear, it will even point you to the Alps in the distance.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t
