About the location

Four de l'Hermitage

19 rue Adrien-Lemoine 95300 Pontoise

Val-d'Oise

Île-de-France

The oven in the Hermitage district of Pontoise is the remnant of a once prosperous market and wine-growing activity around the d'Hastrel press. The oven is surrounded by impressionist landscapes painted by C. Pissarro, P. Cézanne or L. Piette. Two steps away are the last cave dwellings of the Hermitage that make the place unusual. They are the remains of an intense activity of stone extraction to build. A stone’s throw from these quarries, tasting old-fashioned bread is an opportunity to remind visitors of the history of very old trades: bakers, labourers, labourers, winemakers and quarrymen and to evoke the living conditions of Jehan Rousseau, Hermitage’s first known troglodyte with traces dating back to 1620.
