🐴 Yesterday, the donkeys and horses made their transhumance, leaving the Roche de Solutré to join the Mont de Pouilly. This move, carried out twice a year, allows the animals to change grazing areas in order to preserve the calcareous meadows classified under Natura 2000 protection. A beautiful journey under the first snowflakes! #rochedesolutre

🌄 The neighboring Rocks #photothursday: Solutré and Vergisson. It is its geological history that gives the Grand Site de France Solutré Pouilly Vergisson its spectacular character. A major prehistoric site and eponymous site of the Solutrean period, it shelters, at the foot of the Roche de Solutré, countless traces left by nomadic hunters of the last ice age. As for Vergisson, excavations reveal an even older site, testifying to the presence of Neanderthals during the Middle Paleolithic. #rochedesolutre #prehistory #grandsitedefrance #burgundy #burgundyfranchecomte #saoneetloire #saoneetloiretourisme Credit: Stéphane Godin
