Landscape stories in the Grand Site de France Solutré Pouilly Vergisson
My name is Clémence, I am a master's student in history and this year I am training as a cultural mediator within the team of the Grand Site de France Solutré Pouilly Vergisson.
The mosaic of landscapes at the foot of the Vergisson and Solutré rocks, as well as the long history since the occupation of this place as a hunting ground in prehistory, are very present aspects of the Grand Site.
