    What To Expect

    Pont Saint-Laurent

    Set off at the Saint Laurent Bridge, connecting Mâcon’s Old Town and Saint-Laurent-sur-Saône village across the Saône river. The medieval bridge was rebuilt in the 11th century on the foundations of a wooden predecessor carrying Roman soldiers across the Saône River during the invasion of Gaul. The historic stonework is the perfect place to appreciate the sights of the ancient Mâcon and the charming village, as well as pleasure boats moving up and down the waterway below.

    Église Saint-Pierre de Mâcon

    A very short walk from the statue is the 17th-century Church of St. Peter. The church has an impressive three-story Neo-Romanesque façade lavishly decorated with intricate bas-reliefs. It owns beautiful works from the 17th and 18th centuries, in particular the Baroque painting by Jean-François de Troy, a Neo-Gothic organ case listed as a Historic Monument, and contemporary furniture by the religious art sculptor Philippe Kaeppelin. The two spires of the church, towering over the city center, have become one of its most iconic emblems.

    Next, walk by the most famous wooden house in Mâcon, built between 1490 and 1510, and probably the oldest. The multi-story building is intricately engrained with a blend of real and fictional characters. A camera zoom or binoculars is the best way to explore the unique carving details. Prominently standing on a busy corner in the city center, the building is a witness to the vicissitudes of time.
