Le Jardin , 4-star eco-lodge on the Alsace wine route near Strasbourg

On our property you will find two gîtes: the Jardin (180m²) for 8-10 people, 4 bedrooms, terrace, and 2 bathrooms.
The other, the Nid (125m²), sleeps 6-8, with 4 bedrooms (2 by 2 adjoining), 2 bathrooms, terrace, and a sauna.
The gîtes can be booked separately or together, for a total of 18-19 beds. The Jardin has a dining room spacious enough to accommodate 20 people.
The gîtes are located in two independent, typical Alsatian half-timbered houses, each with its own barbecue area and private garden furniture; both open onto a courtyard and a large enclosed garden of 12 acres.

Both have been renovated using old materials, with high-performance insulation and solar-powered hot water. Rainwater harvesting and many other ecological aspects recognized by the Green Key eco-gite label;
Located in the heart of Alsace, 20 minutes from Strasbourg and 30 minutes from Colmar.

At the crossroads of the Alsace wine routes, the Romanesque route, and the sauerkraut route, you can access it via exit 13 of the A35, by train from Barr station, by bike on the Alsace cycle routes, and on foot via the GR5.

The accommodations are in the center of the village where all shops and restaurants are within walking distance.

The gîte, Le Jardin, combines modern comfort with old-world charm over 180m², with 4 bedrooms, including a master suite, 2 bathrooms, a large 30m² terrace accessible from the kitchen, and a large dining room that can accommodate 20 people.

Past the porch, the courtyard, cool in summer, opens onto a vast space: the garden.

The garden welcomes you in fine weather for a picnic on the grass, a lunch in the garden furniture, and a barbecue in the shade of the century-old trees.

The farmyard brings this peaceful and timeless space to life.

Just two hours from Paris by TGV, Alsace is a region bordering Germany and Switzerland. The Rhine Plain stretches from north to south for over 200 km.
Bordered to the east by the Rhine and to the west by the Vosges Mountains. These varied landscapes offer opportunities for excursions such as boat trips on the backwaters of the old Rhine, bike rides, and wonderfully documented hiking trails maintained by volunteers from the Vosges Club association.

You can crisscross Alsace from north to south, following the seasons along various routes: the Crest Route, the Alsace Wine Route, the Romanesque Route, the Sauerkraut Route, the Tobacco, Oil, and Hops Route, as well as circuits that extend beyond the region, such as the cycle routes, EuroVelo 5, 6, and 15, and long-distance hiking trails, such as the GR5 linking the tip of Denmark to Corsica.

Throughout your travels, you will discover the rich rural heritage, wonderfully preserved and maintained by the Alsatians, proud of their region and its character.

The Ungersheim Ecomuseum, south of Colmar, showcases traditions, folklore, and crafts of yesteryear, as well as aspects of its industrial heritage. The Vosges foothills boast more than 400 fortified castles, including Haut-Koenigsbourg, which was rebuilt in a massive project in 1908. Another Alsatian landmark is the Mont Sainte-Odile massif, at the foot of which nestles the small town of Barr. The monastery of Sainte-Odile is still a place of retreat and welcomes pilgrims. Mont Sainte-Odile and Barr are located on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
Strasbourg is the main city, the capital of Christmas. It has preserved neighborhoods that bear witness to the architecture of the Middle Ages to the present day. This is where you can discover the tanners' district, known as "Little France," with its half-timbered houses and narrow streets, providing a setting for the Cathedral, a true masterpiece of Gothic art, and the more recent neighborhoods where several European institutions are headquartered, such as the European Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights.

Mulhouse, a city with a vibrant industrial heritage, offers museums such as the Automobile Museum, a unique collection of vintage cars, the Railway Museum, the Fabric and Wallpaper Museum, and Electropolis.
In between, Colmar is not to be outdone with its picturesque "Little Venice" neighborhoods and the birthplace of Auguste Bartholdi.
Let's not forget Alsatian gastronomy with sauerkraut, but also baeckeoffe, tartes flambées, fried carp, matelottes, and more, always accompanied by a dry Riesling or a fruitier Klevener, Pinot Gris, or Gewürtztraminer wine.

Die Räume entsprechen sehr genau den Abbildungen. JeanLuc war immer hilfsbereit, mit Auskünften und beim Einparken. Wir haben als Familie mit kleinen Kindern besonders geschätzt, dass JeanLuc uns eine große Auswahl an traditionellen elsässischen Gerichten angeboten hat. Wir haben 3 excellent zubereitete genossen. Das ist wärmstens zu empfehlen

L’accueil des proprietaires, les petites attention tout au long de notre séjour, les équipements du gîte, le magnifique jardin, l’emplacement, les services proposés par les proposés... tout était parfait 👍 ! Nous ne pouvons trouver mieux pour les 70 ans de notre papa. Nicole et Jean-Luc sont des hôtes très sympathiques et passionnés. Bravo pour le charme de votre gîte et votre gentillesse.

Let me be clear from the start, this house and it’s location are stunning! Right in the middle of an ancient cobbled town centre. The owners, Nicole and Jean-Luc are the friendliest and most welcoming people you could wish to meet and were always around if you fancied a chat with them. When we arrived, we were disappointed to find that the layout of the house was not at all as advertised on the U.K. HomeAway website, with photos of a second rental property belonging to Nicole and Jean-Luc being confused with the house that we rented. In short, our sleeping requirements were not got going to work with what we found. Once we worked out how the problem had occurred, Nicole and Jean-Luc quickly moved some beds around the house to make things work for our 10-guest group. Be warned, entry by car into the gated property is ‘tight’! We arrived with two large MPV’s both with 4-bike carriers on the rear and it took several shunts to make the turn into the gateway. Which brings me to my only real gripe in this review...... The property is rented out for up to 10 people. That means it’s obvious that two large cars will be required to transport so many people plus luggage etc. The allotted parking space was barely big enough for one of our two MPV’s. The answer was that we would have to park in a (free) public car park in the town centre. With the access so tight for a big car, we decided to risk leaving both cars in town all week. At the end of our stay, we were relieved to find that Nicole and Jean-Luc just let us pack and say goodbye with no intrusion or stress whatsoever. Some owners prefer to ‘inspect’ the property before you go and often measure how much electricity etc you have used. Nicole and Jean-Luc could not have been easier to rent from and spend time near. In summary, a beautiful, big, old, quirky house in a very interesting location. Wonderful family owners who are very welcoming, speak English and always about to say hello. I would completely recommend this property. just be mindful of the tight access for cars if you’re not the most confident driver. Otherwise, have a wonderful stay in Barr with Nicole and Jean-Luc, the friendliest people in Alsace!!

Ein sehr uriges und für 9 Leute großzügiges Haus mit besonderem Charme durch historische Elemente bei Deko und Einrichtung. Sehr zentrale Lage im Ort und trotzdem kurze Wege zum Wandern, Mountainbiken oder anderen Aktivitäten. Der Bahnhof für Fahrten z.B. nach Straßburg oder Colmar ist in Fußentfernung. Die Große Terasse und der große Garten mit Boulebahn laden aber auch zum Verweilen vor Ort ein. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett.

Die Unterkunft liegt im ruhigen, idyllischen Ort Barr und ermöglicht wunderbare Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung mit Weinbergen, den Vogesen, Straßburg....Gute Infrastruktur für die Selbstversorgung durch nahe Läden, empfehlenswerte Restaurants. Durch ein enges Tor erreicht man einen ruhigen Innenhof und von dort das renovierte Fachwerkhaus, das für unsere Bedürfnisse mit 4 Paaren und zwei kleinen Kindern ideal zugeschnitten war. Insbesondere die große Küche, das sonnendurchflutete Esszimmer und die großzügige Terrasse, die von Küche und Esszimmer direkt erreichbar sind, waren für unsere große Gruppe für gemeinsames Essen und Spielen perfekt. Der Garten bietet viele Möglichkeiten zum ruhigen Rückzug, zum Spielen und Entdecken, zu Begegnungen mit Hühnern, Hahn, Katzen und Ziege, sowie viele gute Verstecke für den Osterhasen. Die Zimmer sind mit alten Möbeln zweckmäßig und rustikal ausgestattet, die Polster von Sofa und Sesseln allerdings etwas durchgesessen. Zwei Mitglieder unserer Gruppe mit Hausstaub- und Entenfeder-/Daunenallergie bekamen z.T. Probleme. Die Badezimmer sind funktional und gut ausgestattet. Die Ausstattung der Küche lässt auch für große Gruppen nichts zu wünschen übrig. Die Vermieter haben wir als hilfreich, freundlich und unkompliziert erfahren. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Jardin des Hesperides sehr genossen.

Wunderschönes Haus mit absolut echtem elsässischen Charme. Hier wohnt man wie in einem Museum, sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und dekoriert. Auf modernen Komfort muss man aber nicht verzichten: Komplett eingerichtete Küche ( Spülmaschine, Gasherd, Backofen, Toaster, Kaffeemaschinen, Mixer, etc.) sowie zwei zweckmäßig ausgestattete Badezimmer inclusive Handtücher, Dusche, Badewanne... Wir waren mit zwei vierköpfigen Familien dort und hatten genug Platz, um auch mal ein ruhiges Plätzchen zu finden. Die große Terrasse hätten wir auch gut nutzen können, wenn das Wetter besser gewesen wäre. Vielen Dank Nicole und Luc für eine schöne Urlaubswoche bei euch!

Das Haus ist "en bijou" - wirklich ein Schmuckstück und der Garten einfach zauberhaft! Wir haben uns in dem liebevoll restaurierten Fachwerkhaus mit den antiken Möbeln und der modernen Küchenausstattung sehr wohl gefühlt. Alles ist vorhanden, was man braucht! Dazu sauber und gepflegt! Mit 8 Erwachsenen, einem Baby und einem Hund hatten wir hervorragend Platz. Die Dachterrasse ist geschützter privater Bereich im Sommer. Der wunderschöne Garten mit Spielgeräten, Ziegen, Hühnern, Katzen und einem Hahn bietet viele kleine verwinkelte, schattige Ecken zum Aufenthalt und ist ein echtes Erlebnis! Die Einladung zum Wein und den schönen Abend mit den Gastgebern fanden wir besonders nett! Danke an Nicole und Jean Luc! Wir würden das Haus immer an Freunde und Bekannte weiter empfehlen. Barr und die Umgebung sind sowieso eine Reise wert! Einzige Anregung zur Verbesserung: Spezielles Hahn-Training, damit er erst ab 6.30 Uhr weckt! :-)
