In the middle of the Mâconnais vineyards, a 500 m-high limestone outcrop stands guard over a prehistoric animal graveyard. The Roche de Solutré (10 km SW of Macon via the D54) was a Palaeolithic hunting site for 25,000 years. In some places, the bones of horses, reindeer, bison and mammoths are piled to a depth of 1 m, and the Musée de Prehistoire de Solutré displays artefacts found at the site.
