Overview

Le France is located in Villers-le-Lac, a scenic commune right along the border of France and Switzerland. Surrounded by Borgogne's beautiful mountains and rivers, the property's a fantastic choice for accommodations when visiting the region. Though very much a modern establishment, it has well-preserved 19th-century aesthetics that create a charming rural ambiance. Hotel owner Hugues Droz inherited the hotel from his father and grandfather, and he intends to live up to their legacy. As an esteemed chef, he also leads the on-site restaurant, providing sumptuous feasts using the region's finest ingredients.

History

Chef Hugues Droz is passionate about continuing the family business passed down to him by his father and grandfather. Nestled in the Haut-Doubs Mountains of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, the quaint yet lovely hotel dating back to the 19th century has served travelers for three generations, providing amazing food and comfortable beds. Over the years, the hotel has transformed and modernized to keep up with trends. They have since added a wellness center that offers Swedish massages and a sauna for destressing and detoxing.

Design and Architecture

Despite the modernizations Le France has undergone, there are still plenty of classic features to find at the hotel. Rooms and suites still have timbers and planks not just as decor but as part of the fixtures and supports. Similarly, the restaurant has fireplaces and a sleek wood finish that creates a vintage vibe that calls back to the 19th and 20th centuries.

As part of modernizing the hotel, some rooms provide wheelchair-friendly bathrooms. These come equipped with raised toilets, grab bars for support, and lowered sinks for easier reach.
