The plateaux are separated by dramatic gorges, where you’ll discover spectacular waterfalls and underground caves, teeming with stalactites and stalagmites. As you descend westwards towards the flat and fertile Saône plain, you reach the gentler slopes of the wine region. Mediaeval towns and picturesque villages, some of the prettiest in France, are dotted amongst the vines, with the impressive backdrop of steep sided limestone cliffs. It’s 'connoisseurs’ France': people who come here are charmed by it and vow to return.
