"Ecologiquement parfait avec une point de raffinement" dixit la Maison Ecologique. Nous sommes très flattés ! "D'un coup de baguette magique à partir d'un existant peu glorieux, avec une pointe d'huile de coude, un esprit créatif sans limites, une volonté écologique ferme et sans concessions, le lieu est transfomé en une halte incontournable pour toute personne ayant un projet d'écoconstruction tant il est inspirant(...). Le clou de la visite, la cave située de l'autre coté de la courette. Ronde et unique en son genre elle abrite des futs de chêne qui semblent n'attendre que vous. (...)Francine et Clément ont placé la barre très haut, difficile de faire écologiquement mieux, à tout point de vue. Assurément l'une des meilleures adresses pour un véritable séjour écologique en Alsace". Nous n'en dirons pas plus mais vous conseillons de vous abonner à La Maison Ecologique, bible de la construction écologique que nous recevons depuis des années et qui est une source d'inspiration sans limites. A chaque parution la rubrique Bol d'Air vous donne des idées de séjours écologiques. Voir aussi les ouvrages d'Yvan Saint Jours sur l'eco-construction.

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!

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

Les enfants ont adore le petit lac et son bateau - ils se sont meme bainges plusieurs fois et l'eau etait glaciale!!
