The Experience

You feel welcome the moment you step into this renovated mountain house by the village church. Oak, spruce and larch abound, many features have been preserved and all is cosy. Catherine and Thierry love to speak English and do bountiful table d’hotes at the long table, or on the terrace in summer (the gardens are delightful). She is a chef and pâtissier, produces for local shops and gives courses in the large spotless kitchen. He is proud possessor of a fleet of 2CVs and a 1947 Traction Avant – book a private tour and set off to explore the mountains with the roof down… Return to log fires, delicious beds, drenching showers.

Reviews

Chris, Canterbury

I can't remember a warmer welcome than from Catherine and Thierry. Their house is beautiful, immaculate and perfectly restored - and the nearby church bells finish at 10 pm! Despite having email problems between France and England, Catherine cooked a superb meal, and I felt that my English was somewhat weaker than theirs during our wide-ranging amusing and intelligent conversation. My first stay here, but definitely not my last. Very strongly recommended.


Penny, Northampton

Absolutely wonderful, Catherine and Thierry are lovely, dinner and breakfast great, the house is gorgeous, the Abricot room was super and quiet. Great to see Thierrys wonderful 2 CV's. Liked it so much we are going back in September.


Aman, London

A warm and lovely couple hosted us for two nights in comfortable, modern rooms. Our kids loved the friendly communal breakfast and we found the location perfect for exploring parts of this countryside.


Sue

A fantastic stay! The hosts were so welcoming and accommodating. Their English is perfect and they were more than happy to be 'translators' so that we were able to communicate better with other guests. They have recently completed renovating their property to a very high specification and the facilities offered are brilliant - a very comfortable bedroom and wonderful meals. I would recommend Bluets et Brimbelles as an excellent place to stay.


Bethan, Tunbridge Wells

Absolutely delightful! We stayed with Catherine & Thierry for 1 night on the way from the UK to the Italian Lakes, and again for 1 night on the way home. Both nights were fabulous and memorable – Catherine and Thierry are such perfect hosts, we felt we’d known them for years! Both had spent a year in the UK as students and have perfect English. The house is great, a new renovation which has been done to a really a high standard with great attention to detail. The suppers and breakfasts were delicious……… and as you would expect the desserts were breathtakingly superb. Highly recommended!

Local points of interest from Catherine Habersetzer

  • Our house dates back 1753 and always stayed in Thierry's family since it was built... 10 generations ago !
  • Catherine is a professional pâtissière, you will taste her bakeries for dessert at the evening dinner.
  • As a board member of the local Tourist Office, Thierry has a lot to tell you about our local history and heritage sites. Let him take you back in time at the dinner table...
  • Drive along the Wine Road and visit Obernai, Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé, Colmar, all within easy reach for a day trip.
  • Visit the famous Haut Koenigsbourg castle, after a scenic drive from our house, across the mountains.
  • Plenty of hiking trails in the area, including 2 marked trails directly from the house : free ordnance maps and guides are available on site.
