 Burgundy (Bourgogne) |
 Saône et Loire |
The Saône and Loire is in the southern part of Burgundy.
The department is named after the two important rivers, the Saone which flows to the south and the Loire which flows to the north west.
Industry is set along the rivers banks, whilst the plains offer a fertile soil for agriculture.
The regional park of the Morvan provides a semi-mountainous area, with granite and a dense forest.
The Chalonaise and Maçonais wines are fruity and light, offering an alternative to the heavier Burgundy wines found further north.
