Clinging to its rock isolated by three rivers. The village of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain is nestled in a charming site. It smells of anise … Our charming guest house is located just a few kilometers from this beautiful listed village.

Former seat of an abbey from the 8th century, a strong city in the middle Ages. Flavigny reveals its past grandeur in its narrow streets lined with old hotels. Superb fortified doors and the remains of its ramparts.

This pleasant village is surrounded by a countryside that reveals itself between churches and washhouses. Here spring the mythical sources of the Seine with first the main source, sheltered by a statue.
