 La Lucarne aux Chouettes-Leslie Caron's Hotel, Villeneuve-sur-Yonne

        
This hotel is comprised of four restored warehouses built centuries ago on the river Yonne. Abandoned since the war, the four buildings were waiting to be torn down to become a parking lot but have been lovingly restored to more than their former splendor.

The La Lucarne aux Chouettes (The Owl's Nest) has become the town's focal point to carry on business, celebrate birthdays and marriages, and meet the outside world. Travelers and local people alike now gather here to share a meal or spend a night or two. Lazy barges and pleasure boats provide an ever-moving fresco. This is a great place to discover the rich heritage of Burgundy.

The restaurant offers a different menu every day at lunch, evenings, weekends, and breakfast.
The Chef, Daïsuke Inagaki, learned his craft in three star restaurants starting with Lorain at "la Côte St Jacques" and has only cooked with the greatest. Soon rewarded with a Michelin star in his own restaurant, he loves French cuisine above all else.

Excursions and activities in the area abound. Just 70 miles from Paris (130 km) with easy access by freeway (A5 - A6) and train (gare de Lyon - 1 hour). Visits to great vineyards and splendid chateaux, trips on the river and canals, horse-back riding, not to mention the many antique shops in the vicinity, the situation of the auberge offers a wide variety of excursions.

Do not miss the rich town of Sens, its magnificent Cathedral Saint-Etienne and Palace courtyard.
The splendors of Auxerre and the charms of Joigny, both built on the flanks of the hills overlooking the winding river, beg to be visited.

If you don't care for History, you can hire a barge on the canal de Bourgogne or just take a stroll along the banks the river.
For the collector, there are plenty of antique dealers and antique fairs during the summer season.
Visits to the wine cellars of the charming town of Chablis are a must. Coulange-la-Vineuse also opens its cellars to visitors.
