Art House Domaine de l'Ocrerie

Our stay at Domaine de L'Ocrerie was both soothing and profoundly compelling. Our curiosity, piqued by the ornate curation of the premises, was well attended to. We were hosted with a tenderness that gave us the agency to unwind fully. Mealtime was a real delight. The attention to detail and consideration given to many local ingredients was on full display. The modern Nuage suite we stayed in was spacious and had the utility of separate niches for different sleeping arrangements. The vaulted ceiling's grandness was matched by a wall-to-wall adorning bespoke artwork. The same juxtaposition of a sleek remodel accenting the rustic history featured throughout the charming house. It is a true gem elevating not only with dedication a host of exhibited artists, but the already bucolic Burgundy countryside to an esteemed primary destination.

We absolutely loved staying with Cathy and Gilles in their beautiful B&B in between Toucy and Auxerre (~10 mins to both). The room had been renovated and designed with modern amenities while keeping the old charm of this gorgeous building. If you love art you will love staying here. We happened to be staying when Gilles was having an art expo and received a personal tour of his work, which was a real treat. Cathy was amazing at helping us find and book restaurants in the area, and had endless recommendations for all kinds of activiites in the nearby towns. Breakfast was classic French with muesli, fresh fruit, breads and interesting jams, as well as lovely conversations. We will definitely be staying here again!
