Geology and Landscape
The limestone locally known as “Lucenay stone” consists almost exclusively of ooids, small spherical grains less than 2 mm in diameter. These formed around 165 million years ago in highly agitated and relatively shallow seawater at a depth of 0 to 10 m.
Mont d'Or is a mountain in the vicinity of Lucenay. La Liouffe, Fourches Voirines and Crêt des Humberts are mountains in the wider regional surroundings of Lucenay.
Wine and History
In Lucenay’s wine cellars, Beaujolais wines can be tasted in red, white and rosé varieties. Lucenay’s white quarries supplied numerous construction projects in Lyon, Villefranche-sur-Saône and the surrounding villages. Their exploitation was abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century, partly due to the emergence of concrete.
