All in all, it was a wonderful vacation
Everything went perfectly: all vouchers for partner hotels and museums were booked in advance, luggage transport was punctual and cab rides worked perfectly. Admittedly, the route was a little arduous, but fantastic! Dense forests, interesting castles and ruins, beautiful villages and friendly people... simply magnificent!We were also very pleased with the hotels - and the food...! We mainly ate where Traces had recommended.All in all, it was a wonderful vacation: active, culinary and cultural!

The complete package was perfect!
Thank you Isabelle! We spent 3 wonderful days hiking in the Vosges du Nord. Lush green forests and meadows. Our path would be lined with golden yellow gorse. The red sandstone cliffs stood out majestically in the landscape. Castles and archaeological sites in the forest. In the evening, we were welcomed by our wonderful hosts. After an aperitif, a delicious menu of Alsatian specialities and wonderful local wines was served. In short: nature, culture and cuisine. We enjoyed 3 of the 22 stages of the GR 53. We'll be back for the additional 19 stages. "Thank you so much, the complete package was perfect! 😘

A 3-day stay in the Northern Vosges, where we discovered an enchanting forest in its autumn colors. We were able to enjoy her hikes with a light mind: luggage and organization taken care of.

I highly recommend this stay with Traces
Traces organized a 3-day tour from Saverne to Niederbronn. The organization was perfect from start to finish. The tour was very pleasant, with a variety of landscapes, visits (castles, ruins, troglodyte houses) and not too crowded, even for this summer month. The various partners we selected (hoteliers, cab drivers) were all very welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend this stay with Traces

Thanks Traces for the organization!
Thank you Traces for organizing my immersion day at the Buddhist temple in Weiterswiller! I had a wonderful day. A warm welcome and a super-friendly group. Kankyo, who led the day, is a friendly person who listens to the participants and made us discover meditation in a pleasant way. The site is close to the forest, in tune with nature and biodiversity, and the animals of the Kibo farm. A great experience👍 that makes you want to go deeper and return! IF you want to learn how to meditate, don't hesitate to visit😉

The beauty of the Vosges du Nord is obvious
The Vosges du Nord has a lot to offer, and the good weather is guaranteed 😉 The challenge was to organize a tailor-made camp for adults. Isabel rose to the challenge, and the "campers" returned exhausted but delighted. Isabel's big plus is that she enabled us to meet people who are deeply rooted in their territory, available and generous with explanations and sharing. The beautiful human relationships are addictive; we'll be back 😊

We recommend it!
We asked for a "tailor-made" organization to share a day with friends for the birthday of one of us. It was a great day with lots of activities. Sylvotherapy in the morning was a real discovery, which despite a few preconceived ideas completely "transported" us and gave us a moment of relaxation and serenity we'd never imagined! We were then able to enjoy a bite to eat in the area, with all the advice and information provided by TRACES VOSGES NORD, as well as a short walk following a "roadbook" which we were able to enjoy, before joining in with another activity. The yoga class was also a great way to end the day on the theme of relaxation and well-being. Quality speakers.

An available team
Traces showed us a team that was available and willing to listen, and that perfectly met our expectations. Our specifications called for "quality moments, nature, culture, for around 10 people", and Traces responded with "playful discovery of a village, sophrology, cooking classes, and a night in a bioethical gîte". Thank you once again for a moment that won over our future brides and grooms and their friends!

Traces lived up to our expectations
Asked to help us organize an EVG in zen mode, Traces met our expectations by offering a variety of activities: culture and heritage discovery, nature and sophrology with an exceptional panorama, and cooking guided by a chef. A well-paced day before an evening and night in a magnificent building in vacation colony mode. Everyone enjoyed this simple yet original experience.
