Enjoying calm and rest between Chablis, Vézelay and Saint-Fargeau in Northern Burgundy
We are currently closed for winter, and will reopen on Friday April 11th, 2025.
Welcome to La Barbotière. The name translates to “The Paddle Pond.” La Barbotière is an old farm located on the outskirts of the village of Chevannes. It serves as an ideal base for exploring the city of Auxerre, the Yonne Valley, and the vineyards of northern Burgundy, particularly Chablis. You will also find nearby attractions in the Puisaye sub-region, including the castle of Guédelon, the castle of Saint-Fargeau, and the market of Toucy. The Basilica of Vézelay is also within easy reach.
To experience the region fully, consider an extended stay to take in its many offerings, and unwind under the trees, by the stream, or in the comfort of our available spaces.
