Marine Bruyère launches Chezo to book at-home activities in Namur

Marine Bruyère is launching Chezo, an online booking platform for home-based activities, in La Bruyère, Belgium.

The entrepreneur created the website to help locals find original experiences without traveling and to provide a marketing tool for independent service providers in the region.

The platform functions similarly to the accommodation booking site Airbnb by allowing customers to filter activities based on their postal code, availability, and the type of event they want to host, such as a family gathering or a romantic date. Customers can view descriptions, durations, minimum participant numbers, and reviews before booking a specific date and paying for a session at their home.

Chezo features a wide variety of offerings, including creative workshops for jewelry or dried flowers, sports sessions like yoga and Pilates, and tastings of cheese or alcohol-free mixology. The service currently focuses on independent providers from the north of the province of Namur, serving residents in areas such as Gembloux, Éghezée, and Namur. Bruyère plans to expand the service area if demand grows beyond the current local boundaries.

Following the official website launch on 10 November, she intends to run promotional campaigns on social media and may eventually develop a smartphone application for the platform.
