In the heart of Tonnerre's historic centre lies this ancient farm. It's ideally located between the beautiful church of St Pierre and the spectacular spring that is la Fosse Dionne. The farm has been entirely and sympathetically renovated and now offers quiet and comfortable guestrooms and a small shop selling regional specialities.

In Tonnerre, you can visit the Hotel Dieu, erected by Marguerite de Bourgogne, and the Hotel d'Uzes, living house of the famous Chevalier d'Eon.

Not far from Tonnerre, you can visit several châteaux: Tanlay, Ancy -le-Franc and Maulnes.

It also has a closed courtyard for parking.

Tucked away in the Burgundian countryside, Tonnerre is a traditional small market town, a little off the beaten track, away from the main tourist routes. We can suggest several themed tours in the town and the local countryside, or help you find pursuits like horse riding, canoeing, hang gliding, wine-tasting, golf and more.

It's worth setting aside a few day to explore the region, its heritage and its gourmet products. But don't worry if you can't fit it all in on your first visit ? you'll be doubly welcome when you stay with us next time!

History of the Farm

La Ferme de la Fosse Dionne was a working farm until the 1960s, after which it was abandoned.

When we bought it, it needed substantial repairs. Roofs had fallen in and the walls were in a bad way. Working with ancient building specialists we conceived our guestroom project in 1997, began work in 1998 and completed it in 2001. The Ferme now offers all modern conveniences, but this has been achieved using traditional materials and methods.

We are proud our Burgundian heritage, and do our best to make our house a warm and friendly place. We look forward to sharing with you our great interest and enthusiasm for this lovely part of France, le Tonnerrois.
