The building has a special feel to it, as you enter the nave (main part of the church) Impressive medieval structure with some wonderful discoveries inside. The ancient stone walls, interesting windows and the crypt all convey the time of construction. In the crypt are some columns that are Roman in origin from a temple predating the abbey. Hate crashes a wedding and saw the place for free. To be mosaic in the ambulatory is excellent It is one of the most beautiful constructions of medieval times. Best atmosphere and vibes ✨️ Comme c’est magnifique! One of the most beautiful romanesque I ever seen. One of the most amazing churches I have been to, and I have been to hundreds or thousands of them. Beautifully restored, but not too much changed from its original state. Wonderful natural light. Not too crowded. Amazing architecture. Interesting, beautiful town that is not too touristy (at least in January, when I visited). Great, inexpensive lunch at the restaurant just outside (to the south of) the main entrance. If you like old buildings or Romanesque architecture, you should not miss Tournus.
