Macon, France Cruises

Macon, France Cruise Port

Here are a few of our favorite things to do while on you cruise to Macon, France:

• The principle highlight for visitors seeking remnants of the architectural wealth that flourished in the cruise port of Macon can turn to the Old Cathedral of Saint-Vincent for reflection. Much of the original structure is nonexistent, but the remaining octagonal towers, grandeur entrance and models inside the cathedral help paint a picture of the beauty that surrounded the original structure back in the 14th century.
   
• There is something for everyone in Musee des Ursulines. This small museum is housed in a former Ursuline convent and has a diverse collection of Paleolithic history, Gallo-Roman archaeology, a gallery dedicated to 16th- 18th century sculptures and paintings, and contemporary art. The various themes displayed in the exhibitions are great for religious and historical pilgrimages.
   
• Rock of Solutré overlooks the wine producing village of Solutré-Pouilly in the Burgundy countryside. Just five miles west of Macon, the scenic setting of its summit provides the calcicole lawn of Macon, and the rare geological phenomenon of the limestone cliff have fascinated many archaeologists for centuries.
