La Menuiserie

Yonne


This is a peach of a B&B. Picture this: a former menuiserie (joiner's workshop) that has been renovated with a happy respect for the spirit of the place shelters one inviting room complete with exposed beams and stone walls. An upstairs mezzanine sleeps up to four additional people. Prices drop by 10% if you stay two nights or more.
