La Roche Solutre

We visited La Roche Solutre in July, but it was at the end of the holiday and the internet was slow.
It is where thousands of horse and other animals bones, slaughtered in pre-history, were found at the base of the rock.

It was such an evocative place.

There are two significant rock formations in the area to the West of Macon surrounded by historic wine villages and many many vines.

Typical countryside in the region, vines, villages and woods.  This was taken from the top of the Roche

Conservation of plant species is aided by grazing of horses thought to be decended from prehistoric breeds.
