Gîte chez Bibi

The village of Wangenbourg-Engenthal, in the Vosges mountains, is one of Alsace's oldest listed tourist resorts, dating back to 1929. Highly appreciated for its climate, Wangenbourg-Engenthal offers a Mountain micro-climate: protected from the westerly winds, many people come to oxygenate themselves and admire the marvellous scenery. Its scattered settlements in the valleys and plateaus create a bucolic, alpine landscape that once earned it the nickname "Little Switzerland of Alsace". The setting is also ideal for nature activities. The village lies at the crossroads of four of the Transvosgian Grande Randonnée (GR) trails (GR 53, GR 531, GR 532 AND GR 534), as well as on the TMV (Traversée du Massif Vosgien à VTT). At the same time, it's an ideal base for discovering Alsace's tourist attractions: from the great classics (Saverne, Marmoutier, the Wine Route, Obernai, Mont Ste-Odile, ....) to the smaller, more secret corners. It also takes in the highlights of nearby Lorraine (Dabo, Phalsbourg, Parc animalier de Sainte-Croix). OUR HISTORY ..... The Holiday cottage is located on the first floor of an 1850s farmhouse that was completely restored between 2021 and 2023. The roof frame was replaced, the floors ripped out, the floor/ceiling beams reinforced, the doors raised, the interior walls stripped of their thick layer of plaster to reveal beautiful Vosges sandstone. We salvaged all the old planks, which were brushed and put back on the walls as decoration. Most of the materials were recycled. The furniture, decorative objects and crockery were found and restored by us. We were architects, project managers, project owners, as well as demolishers, masons, carpenters, painters, decorators ...... It was a wonderful project that we'll be delighted to share with our guests. Sylvie and Eddie
