Chez Gustave, a World Wildlife Federation (WWf) Panda gîte for your ecological holidays

Gustave lived there 50 years ago and then he left the village. He was a farmer and fought single-handedly all his life against an ungrateful piece of earth which is for us, near paradise…
In this spacious hayloft the summer harvest lay and insulated the stable below it from the fierce cold of winter. Today, this Panda gite, certified by the WWF and the Parc Natural Regional des Ballons des Vosges is a place of estonishing discovery for those who love peace and nature. Located on the magic Plateau of the 1000 ponds close to the Vosges mountains Around the house, in the microclimate at the back of the pond, on the meadow of the Frêne fountain, or in the immediate surroundings you will find plenty to observe. No television here and your mobile phone will barely work here…it’s a true vacation, time to discover another rhythm.
The house has been renovated with natural materials. You will have fresh natural spring water and solar energy for warm water and a central wood stove which is ample for heating the entire house. At 700 meters (2200 feet) of altitude, surrounded by meadows and forests, the air is of very good quality and suitable for children or adults with respiratory problems.
Designed for 2, 3, or 4 people, it is an ideal spot for a small family, a couple, or close friends. Imagine yourselves in front of the fire with a good book and a glass of wine (from Klur vineyards of course !) after a day of discovering the local hiking trails or walking along the 1200 ponds in the immediate surroundings…soon you will go to have an omelet at the Bistrot de Pays de Beulotte Saint Laurent (15 min. by foot) or even more if you have reserved tickets for the Theatre du Peuple du Bussang (20 min. by car) Your plans for the following day may include the or perhaps a day at the thermal baths in Luxueil les Bains, or who knows, maybe you won’t budge from the house. It’s your choice and we will give you all the tips for your vacation, depending on your desires.
