Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TOURNUS , a town of
east
 -central France, in the department of Saone-et-Loire, on the right bank of the Saone, 20 m. N. by E. of
Macon
  on the Paris-Lyons railway. Pop. (1906), 3787. The
church
  of St Philibert (early 11th
century
 ) once belonging to the
Benedictine
  abbey of Tournus, suppressed in 1785, is in the Burgundian Romanesque style. The
facade
  lacks one of the two flanking towers originally designed for it. The
nave
  is roofed with barrel vaulting, supported on tall cylindrical columns. The choir beneath which is a
crypt
  of the 11th
century
  has a deambulatory and square chapels. In the Place de 1'H6tel de Ville stands a statue of J. B. Greuze, born in the town in 1725. There are vineyards in the surrounding
district
  and the town and its port have considerable commerce in wine and in stone from the neighbouring quarries. Chair-making is an important industry.
