Domaine de l'Ocrerie Full Description
The artist-owners welcome up to 60 people in their ocherry. It is an unusual, artistic, atypical and authentic place, industrial heritage of Puisaye from the 18th century. On the ground floor, the Domaine de l'Ocrerie has large open space lounges with a capacity of up to 60 people. An intimate setting and unrivaled charm with exposed beams, tiled floor tiles, furniture that is vintage, designer and found in numerous flea markets, contemporary works of art decorate all the rooms and bedrooms. Rather bohemian-chic, the setting is rural with its wild park, its meadows, its old ocher quarry. Secular ceremonies can be organized under the large trident cedar. Take advantage of our 100m2 showroom to make it your dance floor or your reception room for around sixty guests. Welcome to Domaine de l’Ocrerie!

Thank you for so much beauty!
Luxury is in the details, it seems. This is what we were able to verify at the Ocrerie. The softness of a blanket, the perfect harmony between a few shades, the ideal lighting of a lamp... A harmony that invades, and which makes you start life differently. Thank you for so much beauty!

Enchanting stay in the land of Colette.
A huge thank you to Cathy and Gilles for their warm and delicate welcome at Domaine de l'Ocrerie. We spent 3 wonderful days in the Nuage suite with our 2 children. The estate is a true haven of peace less than 2 hours from Paris, disconnection guaranteed! The location is perfect for discovering Puisaye. Finally, the place exudes incredible charm, where nature and art combine wonderfully, in a very rejuvenating calm! Thank you again for everything, and see you soon for sure.

A little corner of paradise that delighted us.
A little corner of paradise that delighted us. House with lots of charm, a decoration that invites us to travel and discover artists. A warm fireplace, an extra breakfast. Thank you both and we look forward to seeing you again... Amélie, Etienne, Bertille and Gabin.

One more place full of history
Excellent welcome from Cathy and Gilles in this very bucolic little corner of Burgundy! Cathy gave us lots of advice for getting around the region. Our room was spacious and tastefully decorated. One more place steeped in history since it was the property of the Gall-Berthier family (parents of France Gall) and the artistic soul of the place continues since Cathy organizes exhibitions and conferences there...an excellent address! We will come back!
