Isabelle,
Your ancestors were Lemko.
From late 18th century to 1919 the village you are looking for Tychania (name in Lemko language) /CIECHANIA (Polish name) was once part of Galicia> Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1923 the region was under Reconstituted POLAND's domain.
Ciechania was predominantly a Lemko/Ruthenian village w/its own Greek Catholic Church.The filial Roman Catholic Church was in Zmigrod Nowy.Krosno was the powiat / administrative district and Dukla was the gmina /
judicial-tax district.
Today this region is in SE Poland.
I am sorry to tell you that your village ceased to exist in 1947.
If you can locate an online translation site for Polish to French, this link will be very helpful to you in explaining what happened here and where the villagers were resettled. Notice the photos. This is all that is left. There are postings there of others like yourself looking for your roots in this village.
