The Solutré Rock is a world-famous, 493-meter-high limestone cliff in the south of the Burgundy region. It is situated amidst the picturesque vineyards of the municipality of Solutré-Pouilly. The region is officially designated as a Grand Site de France. The hike to the summit is easy to moderate and well-suited for families. It takes about 1 hour for the entire circular route (approx. 4 kilometers round trip). The elevation gain is around 100 to 140 meters from the official parking lot, on well-maintained paths with information panels, although there are many steps.

The rock is located in the south of the Burgundy region (Département Saône-et-Loire), not far from the town of Mâcon. Its distinctive profile rises out of a vast "sea of vines". The vineyards shown belong to the well-known Mâconnais wine region and produce renowned white wines such as Pouilly-Fuissé. The entire area is protected as a Grand Site de France and is also one of the most important prehistoric sites in Europe.

Several paths lead to the summit. A very pretty hike, which can be extended by climbing its big sister, Solutré, for the more athletic.
