From Matisco to nowadays... the foundation of the antic Matisco goes back to the 2nd century BC. Soon, the city became a centre of communications. Border line between the French Kingdom and the Holy Roman Empire, from 843 to 1600, In 1790, Mâcon becomes the administrative centre of Saône-et-Loire, and sees the birth of one of his well known child: Alphonse de Lamartine (Poet and Minister). Active centre of the Resistance during World War II, Mâcon will be the first town of unoccupied France between Paris and Lyon.

The urban and architectural wealth of Mâcon is witness of a past particularly rich in encounters. Mâcon town centre induces you to visit its museums and historical sites.
