Experiences and attractions
Bibracte
On Mont Beuvray near Autun are the remains of pre-Roman Gaul’s largest city, still being uncovered. Bibracte was a hill settlement of 10,000, completely abandoned after the Roman conquest and only rediscovered in the 18th century.
The Museum of Celtic Civilisation at Bibracte informs you about how the city was discovered and excavated, and illustrates how the Bibracte fitted into Celtic Europe.
Rock of Solutré

Château de Cormatin
In a period when French stately homes were growing ever more ostentatious, this 17th-century château went for clean, simple exteriors. Take a tour to explore its many rooms and the masterpiece staircase.
Located on an island in the River Grosne, enveloped by 12 hectares of pristine formal gardens.
