Nestled in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Mâcon serves as the southernmost city in the department of Saône-et-Loire. Boasting a modest population around 34,000 residents, often referred to as Mâconnais, the city echoes a rich cultural tapestry dating back to the Roman Empire. Its historical significance is deeply etched in the city's character and is reflected in well-preserved treasures like the Roman hoard, aptly named the Mâcon Treasure.

From the Middle Ages to World War II, Mâcon’s enduring resilience and strategic importance have carved a fascinating narrative of transformation. Beyond its deep-rooted history, Mâcon’s reputation as a wine region with its own unique 'Mâcon' appellation, coupled with inviting cultural events like the "Eté frappé" Festival, ensure that the city offers a rich, sensory feast for the discerning traveller.

When to visit Macon

Experiencing a temperate climate, Mâcon invites visitors to enjoy its warm summers and crisp winters. The ideal time to visit would be between May and September when the weather is delightful, providing the perfect backdrop for exploring the vineyards and taking part in the array of festivals that dot the city’s calendar.

While the warmer months of July and August are most sought after, savvy travellers can take advantage of lower hotel prices in May, while January brings with it the opportunity for cheaper car hires. Even during the slightly rainier months of May, June, November and December, Mâcon’s charm remains unabated, its allure only enhanced by the poetic ambience of rain-kissed cobblestones.
