About this getaway

An electric-assist bike ride, a forest hike, yoga, sightseeing and a spa - what a program!

With this range of outdoor activities, you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery around La Petite Pierre, in the heart of the Vosges du Nord Regional Nature Park.
You'll also gently regain control of your body with walking, cycling and a whirlpool bath in the grounds of your pretty home on the edge of the forest. ½ day at the spa (pool, sauna, hammam) in a luxurious and relaxing setting will finish off your workout.
A wonderful way to pamper yourself and recharge your batteries in the Vosges forest! You're guaranteed to feel good and reconnect with your inner self at the end of your getaway!

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

You can arrive earlier in the day on day 1 and leave your luggage in the guesthouse and return by 4 p.m. to check in.
If you're allergic, La Maison is also home to cats, but they don't live on the premises where you're staying.
Bicycle safety equipment is included in the rental price BUT not the deposit! Don't forget to bring a chequebook or credit card, as the deposit is very important, given the quality and value of the equipment. It is, of course, returned to you when the bikes are returned undamaged.
