Description

Mâcon is ideally located in the heart of Europe. The capital of South Burgundy can be found 1 hour 35 minutes away from the Olympic sites of Paris 2024 by high-speed rail and 3 hours 45 minutes by car. The two international airports of Lyon Saint-Exupéry and Geneva allow you to reach this area in just 1 hour by car. Thanks to its activities, culture, historic heritage and its famous poet, Alphonse de Lamartine, Mâcon offers all the advantages of a city in an outstanding natural setting. More recently, Mâcon was the training town for the international footballer Antoine Griezmann. Mâcon is also intrinsically linked to its internationally-recognised Mâconnais-Beaujolais wines, which are perfect for social occasions. The Mâcon sports centre is located close to the Saône, 1 mile north of the city centre. The Saône is a natural basin which offers a 3-km stretch of water to practise rowing and uses the Albano system to mark 7 lanes. The centre has a top-quality restaurant which meets the requirements of the high-class athletes. The accommodation was renovated in 2017 into separate and shared rooms in order to respect the accessibility standards. A 4-star hotel is also located just 200 metres from the edge of the Saône.   Discover the site as if you were there : https://www.klapty.com/tour/FhZ0RztAPD More information about Mâcon sports centre: https://www.com-macon.fr/ More information about the city of Mâcon: https://www.macon.fr/
