Introduction to the Area = brief - more later

Jussey has its own tourist web site but not in english.www.paysjusseen.org , it will give you some reference points for where Franche Compte region is and Jussey the town. We live in a tiny peaceful village 3km out of town call CEMBOING (sem bwa). There are villages just about everywhere and each with its own distinctive church spire and can probably see several if you stood on a box. Jussey has its own schools and college and is presently building a health and fitness centre which is an indication that it is both stable and up and coming. There are lots of shops, two supermarkets, all the building and home development shops you will need. Anything more substantial like b+q / comet / mfi type shops (or french versions) are just 40 minutes away in the area's nearest city of Vesoul www.vesoul.fr or an hour to the south is an amazing city between fortified hills called Besancon www.besancon.fr.
Jussey itself has most things you will need for the day to day and for anything in a panic, rarely does one need to go elsewhere to find what you need. But if its a good deal on white goods - how many times a year do you get those anyway.

If you like a swim, the neighbouring town of fontaine has a good size municipal swimming pool. But over in Vesoul there is a large lake with sandy area, which is immediately next to a wonderful water park (parc aquatique) called LUDOLAC where our family of 6 spent the day swimming and picnic'ing for £10. I believe this particular lake is called Lac de Vaivre and has boats for hire.
