Tournus - La Bohème

Tournus is famous for the church of St Philibert built in the early 11th century. It is the main surviving building of abbey, founded in the 6th century and refounded after it had been raided by the Maurs, by a group of homeless monks from Normoutier as their monastery had been destroyed by the Normans. The monks carried the relics of St. Philibert with them - and built the church. I have uploaded already many photos taken here over the years.

On the other side, the small town Tournus (pop. ~ 5500) is famous for - "haute cuisine" - restaurants. I do not think there is another town in France that has that many Michelin stars. In and around Tournus are more than half a dozend of restaurants from eone to three or four stars. I have been in two - "one star"-restaurants. Fantastic.

This time, we arrived late, had not booked a table in advance - and so chose a small restaurant without any micheline star.
"La Boheme" is a nice restaurant. It serves the local people with great food to very agreeable prices.
