The abbey church of Saint-Philibert in Tournus is one of the most important examples of early Romanesque architecture in Central Europe. The mighty west facade, with its battlements and massive walls, is reminiscent of a medieval fortress. The nave features unique, transversely running barrel vaults, which create an extraordinary play of light inside. Beneath the choir lies an ancient crypt, while above the narthex is the upper church, dedicated to Saint Michael.

Great welcome, even just for a coffee, filling up with water and disposing of our waste. Looking at the menu, the dishes seem delicious.

Along the Saône runs the unfortunately often unpaved, patchy Voie Bleu ("Blue Way"). Incidentally, there is only one Voie Bleu, unlike the Voies Vertes. From Wikivoyage.
