ABOUT US
Welcome to the Bogaert family, at our restaurant and bed & breakfast "La vie en rose". We are a fun quartet: a mom (Sandra), dad (Marco), son (Rik), and daughter-in-law (Linde).
In early 2026, we chose to leave the Netherlands and Belgium for the beautiful countryside in France. We took over this beautiful property, which you are looking at now, and completely renovated it.
We have redecorated this charming village house, given it a personal touch, and breathed new life into it.
Are you passing through France, or would you really love to stay with us? That is certainly possible!
