Chavannes de Bogis is a border crossing point from France (Divonnes les Baines) and as such forms a major traffic artery during rush hours. Chavannes is an agricultural village, there's a mixture of farmers (cereals) and vinyards, there are also several stables and a couple of bee keepers. One of the most notable bee keepers is a British guy called Paul Foley who runs [1] One of the interesting points about this region in terms of bee keeping is that the preferred breed of bee is the Carnican. An interesting point about the population of Chavannes de Bogis is that they are mentally geared towards the whole 'organic' thing and family life and so whilst this is a busy village it's not a place where children run wild. This fact is become more of the norm in Switzerland as a whole as the populace seems to better understand the perils of mother nature getting 'broken'.
