One of France’s most beautiful gardens is a must-go from April 15th to September 30th. Enjoy the labyrinth, walking bare feet on the grass alleys and on the cute bridges above running waters. That’s chlorophyle making poetry !

Hiking From the Chalet

The chalet is well located, so you can just walk from there to discover each season’s own colors : flowers in summer, gorgeous landscapes in autumn, thick snow in winter.

Alsace is the nearby region, and it is absolutely superb. The Wine Route is splendid with each village so cute and typical you just won’t believe it’s real. The main cities, Strasbourg and Colmar, are very beautiful too.
