Profitez d'un séjour chez Gustave ou Chez Marie pour découvrir les soins de santé et de bien être des proches environs. La maison est située à 30 minutes des stations thermales de Luxeuil les Bains et de Plombières, mais surtout la proche région regroupe des initiatives très intéressantes de remise en forme ou de soins naturopathes:
- spa phénicien à Saint Maurice sur Moselle, sauna, balnéo mais aussi soins du corps et du visage et les fameuses tables phéniciennes qui permet un drainage aux huiles essentielles de fleurs pour retrouver bien être et vitalité
- ferme du bien être au Bussang chez Sylvie Muffat (n'oubliez pas de chercher un peu d'eau minérale à la source Marie qui fut très fréquentée au 19e siècle et visitez les sources de la Moselle), plus orientée vers l'aromathérapie
- institut de santé naturelle à Ramonchamp, Jean Louis Garillon vous accueille pour des consultations de naturopathie, prenez rendez vous très tôt on y vient de très loin
- chez Etienne Claudel aux Granges de la Pile au Haut du Them (0384204206) on est plus dans le domaine des énergies et du magnétisme, de même que chez Daniel Pfeffer au Montandré à Servance,
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
- l'Atelier à Mandala à Ramonchamp également, vous propose des séances de Yoga et de relaxation Le Plateau des 1000 Etangs où se trouve la Maison des Etangs est l'une des ces régions hors du temps où les hauts lieux d'énergie sont nombreux et les croyances vivaces. Ce fut le 1er lieu d'implantation de St Colomban en France au 6e siècle, et pour ceux qui savent voir, cette petite région regorge de sites patrimoniaux attachants. Votre séjour doit aussi vous permettre de compléter votre herboristerie personnelle puisque la richesse floristique du plateau ou des tous proches environs est exceptionnelle (sommets vosgiens).
Since not too long ago, the murmur of water rhythmically undulates from a vasque vive to make your moments of relaxation even more enjoyable in our interior courtyard. Imagine coming back after a day of busy visits with your children, in parks, towns, castles and villages, to the calm and melodious music to try one of our wines amongst the plants.
The water that circulates in the vasques vives is revitalising and rhythmic. It is dynamised like our organic preparations for the vignes, by oxygenation that supports natural exchanges, harmonises and stimulates plant growth (plants irrigated with this water grow very well).
Created by Michael Monziès, these vasques have stemmed from the works of Wilkes and Theodore Schwenk to express the rythmique potential of water by its content.
At Klur's you'll pass your best nights ! At your disposition, an assortment of cushins made of cereals, whose perks have been known for centuries ! The fact that our ancestors liked putting children to sleep on straw mattresses was not withoutpurpose because not only are they comfortable and help you relax and detente, they just naturally favor good sleep.
In the 10th century Hildegarde von Bingen already recorded the advantages of wheat: this cereal contains 90% silicylic acid that exerts beneficial effects on neck pains, arthritis, rhumatisms, head-aches, asthma (heat it in a ceramic pot found in your vacation apartment, and its effects are stronger). Try our buckwheat pillows (or black wheat) which isn't a seed but comes from the rhubarb family. It arrived in Europe after the 16th century and can be eaten (in bread without gluten, for example), used as a fertilizer, is good for your health (rich in magnesium, potassium, zinc and phosphorus), and you sleep well on it!! The pod is anti-dust, elastic, aerated, and hypo-allergenic. Finally, try a nap on millet, more fluid, soft and makes no rustling noises.
You'll notice that all these pillows adapt to your body form, support your back, and help blood circulation. Made out of natural fibers they breath and assure a regulated temperature and level of humidity in the room. The pillows are 100% organic (contents and tissue) and come from different suppliers such as 'Mille Oreillers' in Lille. They come in addition to the traditional bed equipment and are at your disposition for one or more nights upon request.
If you're coming to vacation with us, you'll have the opportunity to visit a bird garden run by the LPO (ligue de protection des oiseaux), "league for the protection of birds", at the vineyard or the maison des étangs. Youcan even create a bird protection refuge at your place, whether it's urban or rural makes no difference. The installation of a refuge consists in offering the birds a location, respect, and food. What we did concretely:
- no grass, but planting higher plants of different kinds in different places permitting insect populations to grow; protecting the vines on trees; reinstalling stone walls or piles of stone; keeping dead wood; planting honeysuckle for bird food in the winter. Plant indigenous species of trees and plants.
-set up love nests during the springs, water fountains, feeding points for the winter
-ensure that the plants are healthy
In the morning, afternoon, and night you'll be able to listen to the beautiful singing of the birds!
Coming to Alsace ? Go to the website LPO Alsace !
"All you need is a bit of imagination" sang Charles Trenet. Here nothing is semetrical, there are no rows of meticulously planted seeds, no fixed idea of how to carefully care for a design. If that's what you want to see at your vacation, don't come to visit us!!!
We are for biodiversity and spontaneous spaces and gardens. Gardens that tickle your arms (not really!) and shelter a healthy living world. So, take advantage of your vacation to come discover ....
The interior decorations of our houses and vacation apartments (walls, floors, etc.) were all done with natural paints. These paints are made from components of plants and minerals and do not release toxic substances, minimizing their impact on human health and the environment. All the ingredients are clearlmy marked on the packaging. No matter what the color or the ingredients (oil, clay, or water based), tinted or not, the smell so delicious that you almost want to eat them!! Here are some brands that you can take a look at Nature et Harmonie, Biofa, Auro.
CHEZ GUSTAVE CHEZ GUSTAVE is a PANDA cottage, labeled by Gîtes de France and the WWF, World Wildlife Fund.

For natural vacations for 2 to 4 people you'll appreciate the calm, firewoods, no TV, natural water from a source heated by solar....the house was completely renovated with organic materials and the air quality at 600 m is very good.

Le Plateau des 1000 Etangs, the 1000 ponds region is located in the south part of the Vosges Mountains called "Vosges Saônoises", Region Franche Comté. It looks like a little Plateau of 12 miles long and 15 miles large with more than 1500 ponds ! A very special place for geology, fauna and flora and it is the reason why it was classified Natura 2000 in order to be protected more an more. Birdwatching, walking, biking, dreaming....it is a really authentic part of France for nature lovers. There are not a lot of possibilities to stay on the plateau but there are some vacation holiday houses to rent.

Sie haben mit "Chez Gustave" und "Chez Marie" einen "place merveilleux" geschaffen. Meine Frau und ich waren ganz begeistert, als wir die Umgebung mit dem kleinen Teich gesehen haben. Wir haben dann auch sehr schnell "Freundschaft" mit den beiden Pferden in der Nachbarschaft geschlossen. Madame und Monsieur Colilieu waren sehr nett und haben uns alles sehr freundlich erklärt. Die Umgebung ist sehr einsam aber sehr fabuleuse. Telefonieren war schwierig, weil mein Mobiltelefon fast nie ein Netz (pas de réseau) gefunden hat. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit ihrem Häuschen, für das schlechte Wetterkönnen Sie ja nichts. Es ist auch eine sehr sympathische Idee, ein Brot für die Gäste zu reservieren, vielen Dank dafür.Wir haben "ganz heimlich" durch das Fenster nach "Chez Marie" gesehen, auch das sieht sehr sehr schön aus und da kommen wir auch mal hin. Ihre Familie Steger
Hallo Francine, Es hat uns allen sehr gut in dem Haus gefallen - ich werde es weiter empfehlen! Die Idee mit dem Brot fand ich schön, allerdings haben wir das Brot einen Tag verspätet geholt weil wir es falsch verstanden hatten. Auch ist das Bistro im Dorf wirklich nett. So weitermachen! Grüsse Anja
Wir sind gut nach Hause gekommen und hatten einen tollen Urlaub in "Chez Marie"! Tout etait parfait, il ne faut rien changer! Les enfants ont adore le petit lac et son bateau - ils se sont meme bainges plusieurs fois et l'eau etait glaciale!! La maison est tres, tres charmante, chaque piece etant differente et toujours comfortable.....Alors, merci beaucoup et a bientot! Sabine Lindner
