Built in the 17th century, Tournus Hotel Dieu is notable for its pharmacy, one of the oldest in France. It was installed in 1685 and its furniture is very picturesque. Wood shelves painted in gold were especially designed to hold the faience pots holding the medications prepared by the nuns.
Hotels Tournus - Gueugnon - The world capital for stainless steel used the material that made its wealth and repute to embellish its streets and parks.
The museum of local history is ideal to discover the town’s productions and to see how Gueugnon evolved from a small rural village into a big industrial capital.
Discovered by chance in the bed of the river Arroux in 1984, the monoxyle pirogue (built in a single piece of wood) is nine metres long and dates from the 9th century. Soaked with water it was restored by a laboratory in Grenoble and should soon be visible in the local museum.
