Who are we?

We, Phil and Marie, are an Anglo-French couple who decided to give up our jobs and move to France to open some Gites and live the dream.
Having travelled around France looking for a place where we would like to live, we eventually came across the Vosges.
Little known to the French, let alone the rest of the world, we found it entrancing. Its natural beauty and continental climate giving each season a unique feel. With skiing in the winter and outdoor pursuits in the summer it is a perfect area to be.
