In Saône-et-Loire, between Autun and Beaune, the château de Sully stands as a stone quadrangle ringed by moats in the Drée valley. Begun in the 16th century by architect Nicolas Ribonnier, it retains an inner courtyard with richly carved Renaissance decoration, pilasters, niches and medallions. The Mac Mahon family has owned it since the 18th century, and the future marshal and president of France was born here in 1808. Around the main building, the outbuildings, an Italian-style theatre and a landscaped park complete the visit.
