What they say
Michelin Selected

It’s set at the heart of the village of Tournus, right by the banks of the Saône, and while its weathered stone walls bear witness to centuries of history, what’s inside is as modern as can be.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Saint-Philibert Abbey and the banks of the Saône are both a short stroll away.
The rooms
