Our historic mansion, "Tour du Trésorier" (Treasurer's Tower),
is located right next to the St Philibert Abbey with a commanding view across
the Saône river towards the Bresse. Although in town it enjoys a quiet
countryside atmosphere. You are welcome the whole year-round with the exception
of January when we close for our holiday to refresh ourselves and the mansion.
Rooms are double with queen or king size beds which can be split into two single beds if guests so wish. Charge is between 130€ and 180€ for two persons per night which includes breakfast and a welcome drink. Parking is available on the grounds. We invite you to relax on the terrace watching the boats sailing up or down the Saône river or in the walled garden.
We serve breakfast only. For half a century Tournus has been a renown gastronomic
stop as Jean Ducloux placed his restaurant Greuze among the very best with a
rating of two stars in the Michelin Guide. Numerous other restaurants of all
levels offer excellent regional and international cuisine. All are within walking
distance. We shall be glad to give you our recommendations and reserve a table
for you.

To the north you will reach Beaune wandering through the world famous villages of Mercurey, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Pommard and others. Before dinner time, if you so wish, we will organize for you a tasting party.
