For the fifth year in a row, the Geo-events will take you on a discovery or rediscovery of the Beaujolais UNESCO Global Geopark! For this new edition, you can expect an extraordinary journey to the centre of the Earth, thanks to around a hundred events held between May and December. Find out about 500 million years of history! As a family, as a couple, with friends, come and unveil the hidden secrets of the Beaujolais geology.


These fun events will give you the chance to be a drystone wall builder for the day, sail away for a conference on a boat, enjoy breakfast at dawn on Mont Brouilly, get a surprising experience at the Tour Bourdon or learn all about the region's geology.


On the programme, you can expect guided walking tours, conferences, workshops, exhibitions, tastings, worksites that you can take part in, shows and orienteering.

Geopark Beaujolais

Famous throughout the world for its wines and vineyards, the Beaujolais is also a region shaped by man, who has reaped the benefits of the soil's diversity. Its past is literally written in stone: in the golden, red, white, grey or black rocks and stones that have visibly been put to good use in local construction. This remarkable geology has given rise to great diversity, not only in the landscapes and heritage, but also in terms of human activity, in the culture and traditions that form the identity of the Beaujolais region.
