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!

Obviously !
This somewhere had a beautiful name, the Domaine de l’Ocrerie, we did not yet know that it also had a beautiful history: backed by the ochre quarries on a 1.5 hectare park, this beautiful farmhouse ceased its activities at the end of the 19th century to become a place of life, and in the 60s, the second home of a certain France Gall. So that was what we felt since our arrival, this something that makes me happy, something that makes me alive. Obviously..

A paradise!!
Anyone who enjoys the flair of beautiful old, brilliantly renovated houses, art and different cultures, beautiful details - is in paradise in Cathy and Gilles' Ocrerie! You discover, you marvel, you enjoy. It is a place with a certain magic, a place that touches you and a place where you can relax. We were able to experience a vernissage right in the Ocrerie, which was also a very special experience! Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality.

5 star welcome
5-star welcome in the superb Domaine de l’Ocrerie, a place full of history in a green and revitalizing setting. Cathy and Gilles are two very warm hosts who will not fail to give you many tips to enjoy their beautiful region. Delicious breakfast, and creative and tasty dinner (vegetarian, in our case). We will come back with pleasure!

Magic !
Obviously, this place is “MAGiC”! We sleep there in silence and the silence is golden. The charming hosts smile and the willows cry. They cry with joy to find themselves in this wonderful garden between red caravan and welcoming tables. We leave this place with one certainty: that of returning there.

This setting for rest and meetings
On the roads of this musical tour, our resting places follow one another and are similar... and then at the detour of a date in Auxerre, of a concert of fire and love, we ended up at the Domaine de l 'Ocrerie and time (obviously too short) has stopped in the calm and warmth of your welcome. Thank you and long life to this setting of rest and meetings. Friendships.

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.

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!
