GB092216We really enjoyed our time in Roche lez Beupre. Their house was modern, clean and comfortable and we loved the beautiful views from their terrace to the wooded hills across the valley. The location was quiet and peaceful and within 15 minutes of the beautiful town of Besancon. They were helpful in every way and left our home very clean and tidy. We definitely recommend a swap with the Kolb family.
