Where to stay in Bözingen
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Stay in Biel/Bienne itself. Bözingen holds few beds of its own, so the workable plan is a room in the city and a short ride out to the district when Studio Robert or an appointment brings you this way. Boujean is the same district under its French name.
The two names appear on maps and timetables alike, and a booking made under one will be understood under the other. Ask for either.

About Bözingen
What are the main landmarks in Bözingen?
Studio Robert anchors what there is to see. The artist studio keeps a working space rather than a gallery hang, and it gives Bözingen a cultural address in a district otherwise built for living and working. Bözingen wears two names.
Boujean turns up on French-language signage across Biel/Bienne, and the district answers to both without fuss.
What is the history of Bözingen?
Two languages, one district. Bözingen holds its German name and Boujean its French one, the same pairing the city itself makes when it answers to Biel in German and to Bienne in French. Studio Robert belongs to a later chapter.
The artist studio marks the point where a district of houses and workshops made room for a cultural address of its own, set apart from the daily business of Biel/Bienne.
Where is Bözingen?
Bözingen makes up one district of Biel/Bienne, a bilingual city where the German form of the name sits beside the French Boujean.
