surroundings

The Chant des Sapins property is located in eastern France, in the Grand Est region (formerly Lorraine, directly adjacent to Alsace). In the border area of the departments of Vosgues, Bas-Rhin, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Moselle and Haut-Rhin, you will find the beautiful landscape of wooded hills and mountains and charming villages.

You reach the property via a quiet road used only by local traffic, just outside the small village of Le Saulcy. From the elevated position of the house you have a breathtaking view of the fir-covered hills of the Vosges.

Alsace is one of the most beautiful areas of Northern Europe with its extensive vineyards (the famous ‘Route du Vin d’ Alsace’), its charming timbered houses and its excellent restaurants.

The Vosges, on the other hand, offers a wide range of winter and summer recreational opportunities. The numerous ski slopes of La Bresse (1350 m, 35 slopes) and Gerardmer (1140 m, 21 slopes) are both about an hour away. Smaller ski slopes and cross-country ski trails are in the immediate area.

The cosmopolitan city of Strasbourg is also an hour’s drive away. Here you will find several (Michelin-starred) restaurants, luxury boutiques, and the UNESCO-protected historic city center of “La petite France” has everything for an ideal day trip.

Just outside the front door are several scenic hiking trails. Less than a kilometer away, a nearby lake offers trout fishing for fishing enthusiasts, horseback riding opportunities can be found not far away, and as well as a summer camp for children called Centre Bel Air.

In the village of Belval (just 1,000 meters from the entrance gate) you will find a pizzeria, while the town of Senones (an 8-minute drive away) offers a variety of stores and supermarkets, as well as a weekly market. The region is also home to a variety of local producers of honey, fruits, vegetables and small delicacies.
