Editing Mâcon (section)

==Geography==
The city lies on the western bank of the river [[Saône]], between [[Bresse]] in the east and the [[Beaujolais]] hills in the south. Mâcon is the southernmost city in the department of Saône-et-Loire and the region of [[Bourgogne-Franche-Comté]]. It is {{convert|65|km|0|abbr=off}} north of [[Lyon]] and {{convert|400|km|0|abbr=off}} from Paris. The climate is temperate with a slight continental tendency.

===Climate===
Mâcon features an [[oceanic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cfb''), with warm summers, slightly too cool to be called [[humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical]] (''Cfa''). Winters are relatively cold to French standards, but milder and more rainy than north of Mâcon. Most precipitation is in spring and autumn.
