Organic and healthy environment
For your comfort and your health, we are creating and restoring our gites with healthy and organic components delivered by local craftsmen and resources. The wood panels on the wall are created in the traditional local way. Wood is coming from the forests growing on the mountains above Riquewihr. As in old times, the woodden boards are of different widths, according to the diameter of the trees they came from. Before they were tinted, woods were nourished with a plant lasure. Paintings, waxes and oils we used are natural and bio.The carpets of the bedrooms is a weaving of wool and flax. When you will walk barefoot on the cork ground of the bathroom, you will feel warm. The fabrics - primarily of flax woven by hand - come for the majority from Gander Weavings close to Sélestat… The lamp-shades were handmade. Lastly, to restore this so particular Alsatian environment as well as possible, the pieces of furniture are genuine Alsatian antiques. |
