Excellent location, spacious and well equipped
Wonderful location, nice garden terrace, more room than needed for two couples to have enough space and cook dinners together. Owner was quick to respond to any questions and checkin was a breeze.

Very excellent
Great location.
Everything in walking distance, and the nice air made walking a pleasure.
House was supplied with what you need, with appliances and hair dryer. Also you will find iron and ironing board.
The three floors worked for us. The shower on the top floor was wonderful and beautiful, made with stone work.
Property Owner was readily available for assistance and was a pleasure to deal with for any questions.
Tournus was centrally located, so we were able to do day trips within France and also to Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland.
Market next door was nice. Great to have fresh meat and vegetables.
Plenty of pastry shops within a short walk.
Parking was a challenge. Did not understand the meters.
It was hard trying to figure out the open hours for everything, especially the restaurants!
Great photo opportunities, for you can take beautiful pictures of the abbey with the night lights highlighting the tower.
It is equipped with nice TV, but we never used it...too much to do.
Our stay was almost a month. The house was very comfortable for our use.

A large roomy property with a small but welcoming garden.
The accommodation is on three floors - top floor has several beds and a delightful large shower room. First floor has two double bedrooms, one with a loo and sink and the other has a stand-alone deep bath with toilet. There is another small toilet on the ground floor, as well as one in the garden. Car parking is restricted to 20 minutes outside the house, but there is free parking in several places nearby. There is a good grocer next door and the high street is paces away. We were fortunate with the weather and we spent many happy hours in the sunny garden, where at the bottom is a garden room where one can 'escape' to. The kitchen has all modern equipment for a large party - a jug would have been useful but that was a small matter. The kitchen tap arrangement is very modern but we managed not to make too much 'splash'. There are many good restaurants around a few minutes walk away and the town has supermarkets and some wonderful food shops. We took the train to Dijon and Lyon -the station is a short walk away. We had a very relaxing holiday indeed.

Lovely house with a super location
This super property exceeded our expectations. Situated right in the historic centre of Tournus and yet within walking distance of the banks of the Saone. A lovely base from which to explore the region.

Grand 3 storey family house in a great location
Thank you Florence for a great holiday! Tournus is great, as is Bourgogne and this house was well suited for three families. With three floors, a sunny garden, Bbq plus baby bath, change table and high chair, this house is awesome. The kitchen comes equipped with all the extra trimmings (blender, deep fryer, fondue, etc) but was light on for some of the basics and the sink makes a little mess. Other then this, everything is perfect - stylish, warm and homey with books, games and comfy beds. Would stay here again.

Large but cosy town house, ideal!
We stayed in this super house for 1 week in august. Everything was impressive: the house itself, the decoration and furniture, location, view from the window! We loved it. Great kitchen, loved to cook there. Lovely garden. You don’t need a car here. You can walk everywhere, the nearest boulangerie is a 1 minute walk, carrefour supermarket within 10 minutes!
Tournus is very beautiful, especially the St Philibertus. Walks along the Sâone, diner at le Rempart.
I would love to come back one day.
Communication with Florence went very smooth!

Parfait !
Quel agréable séjour pour des retrouvailles de lycéennes 40 années après ! La chaleur et le confort de cette maison a contribué à rendre merveilleux ces moments. Celle-ci est idéalement située dans le quartier de l'abbaye. Charmant week-end avec en plus "Les Puces des Cuisinières" ! au Cellier des Moines. Il ne manque absolument rien !

Maison agréable en centre ville et à 2 pas de l'abbaye
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour entre amis. Les pièces étaient plus grandes qu'elles ne paraissent sur la photo. Parking facile et gratuit à proximité, propriétaires disponibles et réactifs. Localisation en centre ville pratique pour l'accès rapide aux commerces / marché. Bonne literie, lits faits à l'arrivée! Jardinet sympathique, maison agréable et bien équipée, très adaptée aux jeunes enfants (barrières pour les escaliers etc), à deux pas de l'abbaye. Peu de luminosité en RDC (pièces à vivre) mais cela ne nous a pas du tout gêné sur un week-end (lampes déco un peu partout), et en Eté la maison doit être bien isolée pour garder de la fraîcheur.

L’îlot central avec l'évier est sympa mais pas pratique, difficile de ne pas éclabousser...

Très beau gîte où on y est bien
Bien situé dans le cœur historique de la ville de Tournus à moins de 2 minutes à pied de la superbe Abbaye Saint Philibert. Stationnement gratuit à proximité. Très grande maison de ville sur 2 étages. Pièce à vivre agréable équipée tout confort. Les chambres sont spacieuses et décorées avec goûts et raffinement (literie excellente). Le dortoir a la déco classe d'école des années 1980 est superbe. A disposition des livres, des jeux, tout le nécessaire à bébé. Sans parler du jardin clos de mur avec sa plancha... nous avons hâtes de revenir pour en profiter.

Great Cozy House!
We - Dutch family with 3 teenage children - stayed for a week in Tournus and loved the house. It is comfy, cosy and you really feel at home. Tournus has a lot of charm and is also conveniently situated to visit the Burgundy area. We made day trips to Dijon, Beaune and Lyon and even went to the local cinema! The hosts are always quickly responding to any questions. We had high expectations but they were met and definetely recommend the house!

Haus mit Charme in sehr guter Lage
Das Haus ist gut gepflegt und nett eingerichtet. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt und auch den hübschen kleinen Garten genossen. Die Lage ist perfekt: Gleich nebenan ist ein schöner kleiner Lebensmittelladen (sehr freundliche Besitzer) und es sind allein 4 Bäckereien binnen 5 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Trotz der zentralen Lage ist es nachts ruhig. Das Auto hatten wir am kostenlosen Parkplatz an der Saône abgestellt, dort gab es keinerlei Probleme. Wir empfehlen den Gîte du Rempart gerne weiter.
