Crossed by the A6 motorway and served by high-speed trains, Saône-et-Loire has remained a land of hedgerows and vineyards, and a tourism property for sale in Saône-et-Loire draws on a varied clientele. Pilgrims to Paray-le-Monial and young visitors to Taizé meet those who come for Cluny Abbey, Saint-Philibert in Tournus and Roman Autun. The Mâconnais, the Rock of Solutré and the Côte chalonnaise attract wine lovers, while the greenway, the Canal du Centre and the Saône bring cyclists and boaters. East lies the Bresse with its half-timbered farms; west, the Charolais-Brionnais and its Romanesque churches.
Tourism properties reflect this diversity: town and roadside hotel-restaurants, vineyard inns, former watermills converted to guest estates, Bresse and Charolais farms with outbuildings, mansions with parkland and equestrian estates. This page is for buyers of a running business, investors seeking an estate with potential and owners preparing a sale.

Two DVF benchmarks frame the market. A country house sold for a median €160,000 in 2025, falling to €129,900 over 2020-2025 in tourist inland communes such as the Autun Morvan and the Brionnais. Large period homes reach a median €512,000 over 2021-2025, an indicative figure, with grounds averaging over a hectare. Most guest estates sit close to that upper benchmark. The mix confirms it: gîte complexes, manor houses and equestrian estates share the market, while hotels and inns change hands more rarely and are priced case by case.
Hotels benefit from the Paris-Lyon corridor. Near the A6 and the Mâcon-Loché and Le Creusot-Montceau-Montchanin TGV stations, stopover hotels serve travellers, business guests and holidaymakers in transit. In the Mâconnais and Côte chalonnaise, hotel-restaurants and village inns live on wine tourism; in Tournus, Cluny or Charolles, food, from Charolais beef to Bresse chicken, makes up much of the turnover. Farm inns (fermes-auberges) in the Brionnais and Bresse serve their own produce. Identify what is sold, building, business or both, then study operating profit (EBITDA), seasonality, capacity and kitchens. See hotels for sale across France and inns for sale.
Former mills on the Grosne, Seille or Arconce and Bresse farms often hold several holiday lets: see gîtes for sale in Saône-et-Loire and B&Bs for sale in Saône-et-Loire.
Estates with stables and paddocks appear under equestrian gîtes; mansions and barns hosting weddings under event venues in Saône-et-Loire. Campsites are listed under campsite businesses in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, cabins under glamping sites for sale.
The building is conveyed by a notary; the business (goodwill, name, contracts, equipment) follows its own transfer formalities. A hotel, as a public-access building (ERP), must show its latest fire safety commission report; star ratings from 1 to 5 last 5 years; the licence and operating permit are transferred at the town hall. Holiday lets fall under the law of 19 November 2024 (loi Le Meur). For a mill, check the water rights and river continuity obligations. Converting a farm building needs planning consent for a change of use. The Saône valley and parts of the Bresse are flood-prone: read the risk report.
The Mâconnais, Cluny and Tournus combine wine and Romanesque heritage. Along the A6 and near Chalon-sur-Saône, stopover hotels trade all year. The Charolais-Brionnais and Autunois offer cheaper premises and a shorter season.
It depends on occupancy, average rate, costs and upkeep of large buildings. Ask for three years of accounts and use our holiday rental simulator (in French).
