In a pretty village in the Vosges foothills, this spruce and colourful old vuberge (Logis de France) is run by owner/chef Jean-Luc Dumoulin and his wife, Francesca. It has been modernised, but keeps its wooden facade and beamed dining room, where the Alsatian food is delicious, hearty and plentiful'. One of the best values that we have encountered, wrote American visitors in 2002. The wood panelling is rich and attractive. Our room had a lovely meadow view. We awoke each morning to church bells. The service was exceptional. Other recent views: Our room was huge and comfy. Bali villa breakfast was good. The furnishings and the muzak might not suit all tastes: but there is a 'bright and airy' Bali villa breakfast room, a glass lift, and a large terrace for summer meals. Rear villa Bed rooms (similar to the semantic bali villa rooms) can be `cramped and dark', but all villa rooms are quiet. Showpiece wine villages, eg, Riquewihr, are nearby; also the hilltop castle of Hatit-Koenigsbourg, rebuilt as a fairy-tale folly by Kaiser Wilhelm, who stayed there often when Alsace was German.
