Close to the wine route and located between Strasbourg (Unesco World Heritage) and Colmar, large very modern house in the heart of a very quiet village but close to all amenities (supermarkets, multiplex, bowling, train station, highways , airports of Entzheim (20 minutes), Basel (50 minutes), Karlsruhe-Baden (50 minutes), Zurich and Frankfurt (two hours), shops and restaurants).
Modern house with 4 bedrooms including two parental suites and two other children's bedrooms with single beds which share a third bathroom.
Children can meet up in the games room in the basement to play a game of table football or play the console in the cool (barely 18 degrees in the middle of summer!)
Terrace not overlooked and large garden with swing, trampoline and courtyard in front of the house to play ball, rollerblading, skateboarding...etc.
Large garden with vegetable garden in season with vegetables available to our guests, outdoor games (net, snowshoes, etc.) and of course the 7mx4m swimming pool, very appreciable after a beautiful day exploring the villages of the Wine Route! Please watch your children as soon as they set foot in the pool... The pool is equipped with a manual cover to be closed every evening, but no alarm or barrier, according to French safety requirements.
In summer, as in winter, you can also discover the Baden-Württemberg region and its Black Forest as well as Europapark, voted the best amusement park in Europe.
Magnificent walks to do. Germany is also very well equipped with swimming pools, bathing places and summer tobogganing (rodelbahn).
Switzerland, located an hour away, is also conducive to walks and discoveries.
In winter, the first downhill and cross-country ski trails are 30 minutes away by car (snow tires required). You can enjoy other larger ski resorts an hour from the house (Lac Blanc, La Bresse, Schnepfenried...etc).
The Christmas Markets are generally open until December 31st, with less people after the 24th!
Our guests can also use our bikes (1 men's bike, 1 women's bike, 1 children's bike)
We can offer you one of our vehicles during the exchange (Prius+ 7 places).
We have a cat, Poppy, who makes her life.. she will still need a few cuddles and a bowl of kibble regularly. If you want to go on a two or three day expedition, don't hesitate to tell us in advance and we will contact our catsitter :-)
Unfortunately, an exchange with a family with a dog will not be possible....

We are a couple in our early fourties with two children (Matilda, 13 & Robin, 11).
Benoît is French -from Strasbourg - and Tessa was born in the Uk but raised in France. The whole family is bilingual and Tessa also speaks fluent Spanish, having lived in Seville for 2 years.
Benoît works as a civil servant and is an enthusiastic drum player and Tessa works as a designer from home (www.littlefishshop.fr) as well as an interpreter and translator.
We love travelling around the world with our children (or not!), and enjoy tasty food and good wine!
