Around Hotel

The hotel is located in an area that allows easy access to exploration of Tournus, a town rich in art and history. Just stepping out of the hotel, within less than five minutes' walk, one can reach the Abbey of Saint-Philibert-a masterpiece of Romanesque art known for its pink stones, unique light inside it ,and soaring arches. This is surely something not to be missed when visiting this town; what better way than staying so close that you can visit early morning before any crowd sets in.

Right next door is the Hotel-Dieu and Musee Greuze, a fascinating ancient apothecary that has been preserved in its original state. For those who enjoy walking, the quays of the Saone river are very close and offer a lovely bucolic promenade, particularly at sunset. The town center is full of small shops, bakeries, and cafes. Tournus is also famous for its Michelin-starred chefs like nearby Restaurant Greuze although Le Sauvage offers a more accessible and highly tasty alternative for everyday dining right on the premises.
