Le Rempart in Tournus takes seminars, business lunches, residential meetings, weddings and family celebrations for up to 100 guests. The hotel has three meeting rooms that can be booked privately, a brasserie, a pub and 34 bedrooms and suites, so a group can meet, eat and sleep under one roof in the center of this small Burgundy town.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells day meetings, business lunches, professional dinners and residential seminars that combine meeting rooms, meals and accommodation in a single booking, with the team handling the logistics. It also hosts company events such as inaugurations, with a quote prepared for each request. Each participant receives a notepad, a pen and mineral water, and Wi-Fi is free throughout. For team building, the hotel works with local partners on wine tastings, cycling, canoe and kayak outings, electric scooter rides through the vineyards, a tree-top course and hikes. The pub suits an afterwork drink, a team aperitif or a themed evening at the end of the day.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, first communions, birthdays and other private parties are hosted in several formats: cocktail receptions, seated banquets and evenings with dancing. Depending on the number of guests and the format, the Brasserie and the Pub can be privatized. Tournus town hall and the Saint-Philibert abbey church are a few minutes away on foot, which makes it easy to follow a civil or religious ceremony with a reception at the hotel.
Rooms and capacities
All three meeting rooms have daylight, air conditioning and sound insulation. Salle Saint-Philibert, renovated by the interior designers Les Héritiers, seats 30 theatre style, 26 in a classroom, 24 in a U and 100 for a banquet. Salle Chardonnay is the largest room for a plenary session, with 72 theatre style, 40 in a classroom and 26 in a U. Salle Pinot Noir suits a small committee, with 25 theatre style, 16 in a classroom and 14 in a U. Equipment includes a flip chart, a microphone, speakers, a video projector and a television for presentations or video calls.
Accommodation
There are 34 bedrooms and suites in four categories: Confort, Premium, Suites and Traditionnelles. The Traditionnelles rooms have not yet been renovated, which is worth knowing when allocating rooms to a group. Reception is open 24 hours a day, which helps with late arrivals after a long day of travel.
Catering
The Brasserie du Rempart serves Burgundian cooking and a grill menu, built on local, fresh and seasonal produce by chef David Séchet. Several menus are set for seminar lunches, business lunches and professional dinners. Welcome coffee, lunch and breaks are served with the meeting rooms. The pub is open every day from 3 pm to midnight.
History and setting
The hotel occupies a 15th-century guard house built on the town ramparts, which gives it its name. It is a three-star hotel at 2 avenue Gambetta, close to the historic center of Tournus and its abbey church, in the Saône-et-Loire department.
Getting there
Tournus station is about 500 m from the hotel. By road, Beaune is around 45 minutes away, Lyon about an hour and Paris close to three hours.
