But where will I stay??

There are several lodging options near Sennecey-le-Grand. The nearest "big" town is Tournus --9 km/6 mi down the road (Route Nationale 6). In Tournus, among local cheese markets, ancient churches, and tasty restaurants, you will find:

• Hotels--same as hotels in the US, these range from functional accommodations to four-star hotels. Information and ratings can be found on Trip Advisor. Reservations should be made through the hotel.
• Hotel-Restaurants--as the names suggests, these are a combination hotel and restaurant. These tend to be higher-end (Hotel Le Rampart and Hotel Restaurant Greuze are 4 star hotels serving haute-cuisine) and are sometimes "demi-pension", meaning the accomodation includes a meal, lunch, or dinner. Info on Trip Advisor and reservations made through the hotel. 
• Chambres d'hotes--like bed-and-breakfasts in the US. Information can be found and reservations can be made here.
• Gites--same as chambres d'hotes, but with a minimum stay typically of 3-4 nights.  Info and reservations here.

Many of the options are shown on this map. Please make your reservations early as hotels in Tournus may fill up. We have a hold for a few months on a nice hotel just outside of Tournus (Hotel Kolibri) that would be a good fit for people traveling by car (parking may be a challenge in "downtown" Tournus).  You can make your reservations here for Hotel Kolibri. We are looking into shuttle service options between Sennecey-le-Grand and Tournus (including the hotel just out of town) for the night of the wedding and we'll keep you posted. 

There are also some chambres d'hotes and a small hotel in Laives, the small village 3 km from Sennecey. Laives is small (if you stay there, YOU will probably be the most exciting thing happening in town that night) but is very convenient for the weekend's festivities. Dinner Friday is in Laives and the ceremony and reception on Saturday are only a few km away. Please let us know if you are interested. 

Chalon-sur-Saone is the next largest town (about 20 km/12 mi away) and there are plenty of options there as well.
