Hire a car in Macon with Hertz
Macon is a small city situated in the centre of France. The city is located in the south of the Burgundy region and offers visitors some of the best wine and wine tourism in Europe. Car hire in Macon is easy to organise, and hiring a car in Macon makes it easy to travel between the various vineyards, gourmet restaurants and incredible heritage sites that the region has to offer. Those visiting the city for the annual Vinestival in April will be delighted by the events and activities available, but there is plenty for wine lovers to experience no matter what time of year you choose to visit.
Hiring a car in Macon is a fantastic option for travellers who are staying outside of the city centre, particularly those staying in self-catered accommodation. Should you decide to rent a car in Macon, the whole of Burgundy can be accessed by road. In fact the area has some of the most scenic driving routes in the country. Head north towards Dijon and you will come across some of Burgundy's most famous wine-producing areas, including the vineyards at Aloxe-Corton, Nuits-St-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin. Many of the vineyards offer tours, so pack a light picnic of bread and cheese and then hit the road.
