 Next to the lake of Sewen, in a quiet, idyllic and very neaty place, go to this Chalet-du-lac, where the Rioual family will pamper yourself. It is a Gîte Panda (WWFmark) , it's in the south of Alsace, in the valley of Masevaux. At the foot of the Ballon d'Alsace, in an unique and natural protected place, the owners propose you also guest rooms at the la Villa du Lac. And they also adhere to Gîtes Panda net from the Parc Naturel des Ballons des Vosges. Don't hesitate, we recommend it to you !

| Et le Journal belge l'Escapade a déniché aussi d'autres trésors pour des séjours bien être et saveurs orginaux: Essayez par exemple le séjour "au jardin de Gérard Verret" qui exerce un métier peu banal, puisqu’il est cueilleur de plantes sauvages (sureau, orties et autres coquelicots) qui redeviennent à la mode sur les tables des grands restaurants, mais qu’il faut savoir où dénicher. Il connaît ces endroits et prépare les fruits de ses récoltes dans sa cuisine, selon des recettes innovantes ou oubliées. Vous serez dès lors surpris par votre assiette, même au petit déjeuner! Pour découvrir tous ses secrets, vous serez accueillis dans sa maison, à Lalaye, petit village du Val de Villé, accroché à flanc de montagne. www.jardingourmand.com

All the addresses for your eco-holidays, presented below, used hemp in one form or another. Come share this experience and collect savoir-faires to try on your own ! Hemp is a natural material that has been used for thousands of years for clothing, ropes, oil, and medecine. It is now emerging in construction where it is used as insulation for roofs, walls, floors, in wool, or mixed with mortar or stucco. Come to Belchenbach,, or to la Maison des Etangs du Vignoble Klur vineyard to see this method put to practice. It is highly recommended because it is a renewable material that does not use pesticides or herbicides for growth.

It's ideal to reconnect with nature: family setting- pure water- ecology- calm - in nature - organic garden- clean- 5 hectares of green- the forest nearby- panoramic view of the "ballon of Alsace" - at the crossroads of three regions: Alsace, Lorraine and Franche Comté - traditionnal - respects the environment and the Earth- so respects you ! Great for friends or family to change your rhythm. Two confortable lodgings, warm in the fall: the Gîte des Fées (6 adults and 5 chldren) and the Gîte du Chat Perché (2 adults and 2 children).
Natural products were used for the renovation: wood, lime, hemp, natural paints and varnishes. The filtrationa and water treatment is done by a biochemical process. You'll be fournished with biodegradable products for the house. Water is heated by solar panels. The water quality is amazing. Waste is carefully organized. According to the possibilities of the season we can offer you a garden basket. Here, everything is made is comes from local producers, the bread, jellies, etc.... Recommended for every-day eco-friendly people!

The garden is big, a garden of "weeds" as we say, a garden of edibles, a garden of flowers and roses, a garden for relaxation in a village of 2500 cherry trees. Come stay for a week or a couple of days, everything is possible in this invigorating place, two steps away from the hiking paths of the GR5 and the range of Taenchel, high-energy production place in alsacien. Discover wines with your host Jean-Marie Stoeckel one of the best sommeliers in France. The house was renovated as much as possible using eco-friendly materials and methods. It's very calm, and our philosophy is "plenty of small simple things that give taste to life".
