Tournus

Tournus (French pronunciation: [tuʁny]) is a commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France.

[3] The church of St Philibert (early 11th century), is the main surviving building of the former Benedictine abbey of Tournus, suppressed in 1785.

The nave is roofed with barrel vaulting, supported on tall cylindrical columns.

In 2013, four restaurants had a Michelin star: the Greuze, Quartier Gourmand, Aux Terasses, and Meulien.

There are vineyards in the surrounding district and the town and its port have considerable commerce in wine and in stone from the neighboring quarries.
