Old Chapel, New Rules
Our old Chapel started life as the "Hospital of Panténor" built around 1150 by the Count of Nevers who created the hospital to accommodate sick pilgrims and travelers.
The Count, William IV, then raised an army and went on a crusade in 1167. He died October 1168 .
At the end of the 19th Century, it was transformed into a hotel for travelers (La Boule d’Or).
Today, it’s an open space for all, to host banquets, intimate concerts, talks or LGBTQ+ weddings
Welcome to La Boule d’Or
We look forward to seeing what you make here.
