Domaine de l'Ocrerie

Overview

A former ochre works dating back to the 18th century, the building was converted into a bed and breakfast and art house in 2018.
It was originally the family home of France Gall, the yé-yé singer who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965 with "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" writen by Serge Gainsbourg.
Today we are designated a DESTINATION OF EXCELLENCE.

As artists and collectors of contemporary works, we have decorated our walls with paintings, photographs, sculptures, and more in all the lounges and bedrooms.
We love decoration and design, and each room has its own unique character.
Bauhaus, Scandinavian, and vintage furniture come together here to create an authentic and creative atmosphere.

We also organize exhibitions, concerts, and art workshops throughout the year. Table d'hôtes (set menu) is available by reservation 24 hours a day, and when the weather is fine, breakfast and dinner are served in the natural garden.

Our countryside in Puisaye is lush with meadows and forests, a perfect stop for hikers and lovers of heritage and old stones! Visit archaeological sites, caves and churches painted in ochre, the abbeys and castles of Guedelon, Ratilly, and St-Fargeau, the vineyards and cellars of Chablis and Irancy, and on the other side, those of Sancerre! Plenty to keep you occupied for a few days in our lovely corner of the world, untouched by overtourism!

Discounted rates depending on the number of nights and early bird discounts of -5%, -10% to -14% throughout the year on our website.
