Saône-et-Loire reveals a heritage that is not just scenery. The heights of Morvan still bear the traces of Bibracte, an ancient oppidum where Gallic history was written. Autun recalls Roman power with one of the country's largest ancient theaters. Further south, fortified villages, Romanesque abbeys, and castles add a medieval and Renaissance layer to this mosaic. Le Creusot tells of the entry into the industrial age. Between ancient stones, wooded landscapes, and religious sites, the region gathers locations that highlight the depth of its history.
