LE SAUVAGE*** Place du Champs -de-Mars Tournus Burgundy Tel: (33) 3 85 51 14 45

One of the most convenient routes between the northern ports and the south of France is through Burgundy, home to wines of world wide renown. The A6 runs right through this gastronomic region - but if you appreciate a change of scene, without straying too far from the fast road, then Le Sauvage may well suit your requirements. Half way between Chalon sur Saône and Màcon, is Tournus. a small town with a Roman history. The Saône river flows within walking distance of the hotel, so you could enjoy pleasant walks along the quays to refresh the mind after a day on the road The hotel maintains a traditional image: there are 30 rooms, all with en-suite bath/shower room. WC, satellite TV, and mini-bar. Family rooms are good value here and if you book your room through French Affair, you will be entitled to a 10% reduction on meals in the restaurant, where the varied menus include one for children at 42FF. The regional specialties are chicken-based, nearby Bour-en-Bresse produces some of the best chicken in France. The wine list too, is worthy of exploration particularly for wines from the Màconnais vineyards to the north. Le-Guide recommends visiting the beautiful abbey church dating back to 9th century, as well as visiting the museum named for the painter Jean Baptiste Greuze who was born here (1725-1805).
