Travel to Alsace without car

Views : 2371

covoiturageAn ecological way to travel: come to Alsace by train and use the train, bus or car pooling possibilities here. Perhaps you will need to speak a little french for this and use these links  par train for the trains,  ou bus for the bus. Specialy in the Kaysersberg Valley you may try the local car pooling system and meet some local people. Contact . The name for local transportation is  transports collectifs de la région. You may also use it during your february stay and ski at the Lac Blanc station du Lac Blanc

Une cour - jardin

There are no translations available.

Entre la boutique de vin et la maison d'hôtes se trouve une romatique cour intérieure où les tables de bistrot en marbre cotoient de petits bancs et canapés de fer. Le clapotis de la fontaine agrémente le lieu et le jardin d'aromates installé le long du mur en pierres apporte ses éfluves de menthe, de serpolet et de basilic. C'est le moment de prendre un verre avant d'aller dîner, de faire connaissance avec d'autres hôtes, de s'immerger dans la vie du domaine

Very happy stay at Beulotte St Laurent

Views : 2582


A long letter and beautifull pictures "Liebe Familie Klur, wir haben die Zeit bei Ihnen sehr genossen, besonders in Ihrem Haus in Beulotte. Anschließend waren wir noch für eine Woche in den Schweizer Alpen. Das Haus dort war ein kostspielig umgebauter Ziegenstall, doch das Mobilar war lieblos und billig ausgewählt und eingekauft. Da haben wir nach unserem wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Ihrem Domizil noch einmal gemerkt, wie detailliert liebevoll Sie Ihr Haus eingerichtet haben. Es war ein Wohlfühlen, welches wir empfunden haben, der besonderen Art. Pferde und Fische, das tägliche Füttern und deren Anwesenheit haben wir sehr genossen. Teiche, tausend Stück an der Zahl, wir verlassen uns auf offiziell veröffentliche Zahlen, in denen sich das Licht auf vielfältige Weise widerspiegelte und die ich in vielerlei Facetten fotografierte, Pilze, besonders leckere Steinpilze wuchsen im Wald, meine Partnerin wollte nach ein paar Tagen, wir hatten in Riquewihr und Umgebung auch schon etliche gefunden, keine Pilze mehr essen. Ihre Beulotte-Kücheneinrichtung war hochwertig und das Kochen hat uns große Freude bereitet, zumal wir ja Vegetarier sind und Essen gehen in dieser Region gar nicht so einfach ist, bezogen auf die Fleischlastigkeit des Essens. Die Wallfahrtskirche in Ronchamp hatten wir vor etlichen Jahren mit einem Umweg von ca. 200 Kilometern schon einmal besucht, damals war das Licht recht milchig und gute Fotos waren so gut wie nicht möglich. An diesem Tag, an dem wir dieses tolle Bauwerk besuchten, gab es einen wundervollen blauen Himmel und ich konnte die Fotos nachholen, die mir damals nicht so gelungen sind. Ihr Wein schmeckt äußerst lecker, besonders genossen haben wir den Cremantsekt aus dem Elsass, ein tolles Stöffchen! "

Our first guests from 1991 came back !

Views : 2925


With one more...."laeborg.jpgWe would like to say thank you to you once again for your kindness and hospitality towards all us - it was a new experience for us visiting you and Alsace with Henrik and his family. A very special and emotional feeling visiting Maison Bleue now with Noel. So many good memories came back from our own vacations in the house over the years. So now introducing Alsace and the Klur family to the 3. Generation of the Læborg dynasty was a very big and nice thing - as you can see Noel is already familiar with the secret in measuring the grapes! It was nice to hear Henrik telling Nina about his experiences both about holidays and as a worker in the vineyard and how he showed Noel around in Riquewihr. So it was definitely a good start of a new area! " The 3 Laeborg generations.

pt_luthi.jpgDuring this time the Family Luthi from Switzerland stayed at the pond house and appreciate the nature and the quietness of this place. Thanks for this picture ! "we had the most peacefull holidays of our life ! quietness and climate where perfect, hikking and dreaming, our dogs loved also a lot. Perhaps you should tell to your visitors that the 2 houses are not really independant, we didn't know about it. The stay was wonderfull and we certainly will come back to this region another time".
You are right, the houses are built "back to back" but the private outdoors are separate and Chez Marie is only occupied in july and august. Thanks for this and see you soon.

riquewihr2.jpg"The welcoming could not have been better. We were welcomed warmly and  we were explained all that we should know with great details. All the information given to us was very useful.We also loved the wine tasting tour  chez le Vignoble Klur. We stayed at La maison Bleue, its location , its original decor was fanstastic, better than we expected all guests were comfortable and very pleased. One thing I found, specially me because I was the cook, was that the kitchen was a bit small to feed all these people. I guess that could not be helped. In any case  I managed and we enjoyed numerous good communal meals on the terrace outside and in the  lovely dining room. I really have no complaint nor do all our 13 guests. Au contraire, this vacation was for us all went beyond our expectation. I want to take the opportunity then to thank you for your  taste,  flair  and vision which have allowed the success of this adventure".

Offer yourself a stay with and Chef ! Philippe Kienzler from 'Art Culinaire' will be at your service:kienzler.jpg
- at la Maison Bleue: if you've invited friends to join you for the weekend in Alsace, or are on a family reunion, there are 16 of you, think of a gastronomic experience with culinary workshop, while the food is cooking take an apéritif on the balcony, then move to the set dinig table, service included, and the wine is succulent. The desert and the digestif can be taken in the living room (the kitchen and dinig hall will clean themselves!!). Eat and drink what you want, a couple of steps and you're already in bed !! A dream, no?
-In Katzenthal, in the vineyard, for a family of 4 or 6 we can organize a cooking class according to your tastes. If you have friends in the region, invite them for dinner, our dinig room and kitchen are at your disposition.

Bien être à la Maison des Etangs

There are no translations available.

bienetre.jpgProfitez 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, daniel-pfeffer@wanadoo.fr
- 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).

Vasques vives or Flow forms in Katzenthal

Views : 5340

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.

Pillows of wheat, sarasin, or buckwheat

Views : 5322


oreiller-millet.jpgAt 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.

Garden for bird protection

Views : 5009


 

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 !

Chez Gustave, gîte Panda of WWF

39.jpgCHEZ GUSTAVE CHEZ GUSTAVE is a PANDA cottage, labeled by Gîtes de France and the WWF, World Wildlife Fund. Liek all the gîtes Panda, it is on the territory of le Parc Naturel Régional des Ballons des Vosges. 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. From the house, discover paths and routes to walk or bike, fishing ponds, music in the summer at Musique et Mémoire, doughnuts, and the nearby théatre du Peuple in Bussang... in winter you can snowshoe and cross-country ski, in the call, pick mushrooms...by the pond be amazed by the richness of the flora and fauna. One of our guests thought there was a problem with his ears because he didn't hear anything- it's peaceful, there's nothing to hear!! These places are becoming more and more difficult to find.

 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.

Vacances chez Gustave ou chez Marie

Views : 4801

There are no translations available.

les_cheveaux.jpgSie 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 Wetter  können 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

A la recherche des ancêtres

Views : 4331

There are no translations available.

La famille Sell est venue de l'ouest des Etats Unis au grand complet séjourner à Katzenthal pendant deux semaines pour essayer de retrouver les traces de l'un de leur ancêtres parti d'Alsace au début du 19e siècle et partager un peu du mode de vie du village.
We are back home and  hope that your harvest will be good in spite of the difficulties.  We would love to come to help with the harvest.  Perhaps next year.  I have other cousins here who are eager to come to Alsace as well, and we all hope to return to you.  I am attaching some photos from our experience in Katzenthal  so that you can share our delightful memories of our visit. Best regards to all the Klurs!
