Hôtel le Rempart

Pardon my French. We have reached Tournus on our boat journey and had a restaurant recommended to us by the tourist information office. Le rempart. Looks to be a beautiful setting associated with a large hotel. After waiting quite a while for entree, (waiters seemed to realise we hadn’t been served)? And then again waiting for main course I took the opportunity to go to the bathroom. Beginning to ask where the bathroom was I was interrupted with “no speak English” by a young waitress. I will admit to very limited French skills but I would think “toilette” and “WC” is fairly universal. On another attempt I was directed abruptly with “door” and a pointed finger. People often speak of French being rude but I have never experienced rudeness In many visit to various parts of France. I have found everyone, especially those In hospitality, to be very helpful and friendly. Perhaps just a bad night for this particular waitress. In any case my meal had finally arrived!! It was an average meal for the price. As it was getting quite late and our plates we’re finally cleared we decided not to stay for desert and asked for the bill. It didn’t arrive so we went to the counter to presented with an incorrect bill. charged for a three course menu instead of 2 courses. Happily speaking English to accept my payment. Tournus is a beautiful village with many fine restaurants. If we were to return we will find one.

Very friendly hotel in a nice old town with free parking. Great room, good bar/resturant Good place to break up a long drive from Calais to the Alpes. Thoroughly recommend. Room was very clean and comfortable

Great location just off the motorway. Comfortable quiet rooms, good breakfast. Currently undergoing some kitchen/ restaurant refurbishment but they still did good bar dinner. Normally restaurant is excellent and deservedly popular. Easy to park (car park just opposite hotel).

An amazing good restaurant in ‘open air’ with a pleasant crew! However the hotel accommodation is disappointing, our grown-ups had to ‘sleep’ on a poor sofa, the shower had no wall mount and the watertemperature was extreme hot or extreme cold, unfortunatedly! Most of our surprise was the irritation of the lady behind the desk reception; she gave us, more than once, the feeling of just being stupid tourists who don’t know to find the room (2 elevators needed) or the right way to open the gate before the parking place. Excusez-nous, madame!

Following a nightmare journey arriving at 22.30 instead of 16.30 the staff were fantastic and let us enjoy a beer and a wine before retiring. Parking has been updated, nicely landscaped and secure .A lovely room too. We missed dinner sadly but breakfast was superb!

Highly recommended. Clean. Recently renovated in a classic French Hotel style. ( Like in the Maigret books ) Very spacious rooms. Modern bath rooms. Good breakfast and excellent restaurant. Good internet and TV, Including English and Dutch channels. Front desk Multi lingual service. Gated Parking. With in walking distances from historic sites.

Excellent hotel with high quality decor and facilities. Superb restaurant with friendly and attentive staff, and a nice pub too. Only three stars? Definitely worth more! A good base point for visiting more of south Burgundy.

I chose this Hotel because Tournus was just over half way to our final destination (the French Alps). Such a wonderful discovery, we would go back and stay longer! Fantastic restaurant 😋

TRES BEAU CADRE ET CUISINE EXCELLENTE. On peut réserver en ligne . Personnel sérieux Petit Bémol pour le parking ( une explication pour sortir avec le code aurait été nécessaire ) Il pleuvait ce jour la et le parking étais fermé à la sortie de notre repas . On ne savait pas comment faire pour ouvrir et le temps d'appeler à l'interphone on était un peu mouillé !
