If you are following the Route de Soleil then Cluny, (north of Macon), is worth stopping for a look around. Some good restaurants, and a decent market on a Saturday, as well as an interesting town in its own right.

There is a good Municipal site within easy walking distance as well as an Aire, (no services), if it is not blocked by cars.

Tournous has an interesting “Hotel Dieu”, (old hospital)m worth visiting, and also has a Saturday market.
