Good accommodation in a pretty village
This gite effectively consists of the front half of the first floor of a house. Entering next to the garage, a flight of steps leads to a well-equipped kitchen diner on a mezzanine floor above the garage. A few steps higher are the lounge, bedroom and bathroom and the lounge and bedroom have access to a west facing balcony, big enough to sit on and with views of the Vosges mountains between the rooftops over the road. Our welcoming hosts supplied a bottle of wine as well as various tourist literature. There is internet access and a TV showing French and German language terrestrial channels. There is no DVD player but we took one with us. The village is pretty with many attractive houses and an official floral village designation, but big enough to have a newsagent/tobacconist, a busy bakery and a bank with a multilingual cash machine, all by the church, plus a chemist in a different direction. The village is also for the most part very quiet although when there is sound, it carries, inside and out and we had to get used to somebody delivering newspapers on a noisy moped at 6am. The nearest supermarket, an Aldi, is by the nearest motorway junction only about 5 minutes' drive away and anything else you might reasonably want is in Colmar only a few minutes beyond that on the motorway. There are a variety of towns, museums and other attractions readily accessible, not only within Alsace but also the Black Forest area of south west Germany and northern Switzerland. We had no difficulty in filling our days for a fortnight's stay and we are not hikers. It helps if you know some French or German because English comes a poor third when it comes to information in most of the museums. We enjoyed our stay and would have liked to have been able to stay longer.
