In early spring 2019, I set out to find a plot of land in the valleys near Grand Colombier, west of Lac du Bourget. In the sunshine, with the Alps in the distance, villages, fields, streams and forests nearby, I hoped to find a place to take this project forward. Six months later, the site was found, at the foot of the forest in these valleys. With a small group of friends, the BÔ association established its headquarters on this site in 2021.
