BookThe Northern France / Lorraine region
The Vosges Mountains enjoys 4 seasons: daffodils in Springtime, regular temperatures of 35deg C in summer but it is very green so we do get rain as well, beautiful autumn colours and skiing in winter. Close to Alsace and the German border the area is steeped in history of Franco-German conflicts with wonderful architecture reflecting the process. The terrain varies from gently sloping to rugged without being harsh - wonderful walks, scenery and an unspoilt natural beauty.
The Gerardmer / Le Grand Valtin area
The area has unspoilt views, great lakes and beaches with cafes, sailing and various types of boating. Local attractions include go -karting , adventure climbing , rafting, summer luges and Alpine and Cross country skiing. A sweet factory at Fraize, fascinating local museum at Xonrupt containing examples of native fauna. Gerardmer has many shops and boasts a lovely lake surrounded by many amenities including an ice rink, ten pin bowling alley, tennis courts and casino. There are numerous concerts and musical events during the year. Major events are the famous bi-annual daffodil festival (Fetes de Jonquilles) in April, the annual film festival in January and the international triathlon in September. The Tour de France passes through the area on a regular basis and many cyclists use the area as a training base.The area encourages tourists and is proud of its welcome and the diversity of what it offers to different age groups and different interests. Motorcyslists are well catered for and some brilliant touring routes are to be found in the area and indeed across the border into Germany and Switzerland.

We Arrived with 6" of snow to greet us but Paul and Dawn welcomed us with the log burner in full flow and the chalet warm and cosy , the cakes went down a treat as we settled down for our first night . When we woke we had crystal blue sky and with the snow glistening in the sunlight it was a sight to behold The Chalet more than meet our expectations nestling in a valley with great views across and down the valley, Gerardmer is about 5 miles away with plenty of shops and the lake. We will be back as a week was not enough to explore the Vosges a beautiful area which seems to be off the tourist radar which makes for a peaceful and relaxed stay |

Superbly located gite allowing easy travel to mountains, lakes and beautiful and interesting towns and villages. Gerardmer very handy for shopping. Trip to Colmar worth it to see architecture, old streets and canals and on the way stop at Munster to see the storks in their nests on the tops of buildings. Buy some Munster cheese which although smelly, is delicious. Boating on Lac du Longemer and excellent hill/forest walks around Lac des Corbieres. For a rainy day the railway museum at Mulhouse is excellent. |

Really nice property with great views, great comfort and facilities and really helpful owners. We would certainly use again although you do need a vehicle to the nearest shops. |
