Our guest house is in the heart of the French Vosges Mountains. Situated just north of the French Alps it is a land of forests, rivers and lakes - an area of truly amazing natural beauty with peaks rising to an altitude of more than 4600ft.

The Vosges is the perfect all-year-round holiday destination offering a great range of winter and summer activities.

Places to visit

Strasbourg  (France)
This beautiful city is the seat of the European Parliament and also boasts the best Christmas market in the region.

From summer 2007 the TGV  trains will stop at St. Die prior to arriving in the centre of Strasbourg. (1 hour 15 mins from the gîte)
