Beaujolais Geopark, UNESCO Geopark in Rhône, France
The Beaujolais Geopark extends over 1,550 square kilometers across 121 municipalities, featuring diverse geological formations from volcanic archipelagos to mountain ranges.
The area received UNESCO Global Geopark designation in April 2018, following extensive documentation of its geological heritage spanning 500 million years.
Local communities maintain strong connections to wine production, with numerous vineyards spread across the gentle slopes of the eastern Massif Central.
Visitors access the geopark through marked trails connecting various geological sites, with the tourist office providing detailed maps and guided tour information.
The territory contains three distinct topographical zones: the Saône Valley plains, the wine-growing slopes with forested valleys, and the Beaujolais mountains.
