“Chez soi”, as the French call home, is where we long to be after a tiring journey or at the end of a hard day; it is where we like to relax and spend time with friends. “Chez soi” can also be found at the end of a shady track, nestled in one of the meanders of the Doubs. A Dutch couple have made their new home in an 18th-century winemaker’s cottage in the tiny village of Ougney-la-Roche, between Besançon and Baumes-les-Dames. After combing the four corners of France, it is here that they decided to create their own “Chez soi”, offering board and lodging to those who are far from their homes.
