The Perfect Stay
We wanted a quiet 3 month getaway in a small, rural French village close to a larger town and needed 2 bedrooms so friends/family could stay for short periods. We saw reviews saying "Le Sesame" was exactly like the pictures (and it was). On arrival, our hosts greeted us with wine and bread which we promptly sat down and enjoyed with them. The accommodation was exactly what we'd wanted. We quickly realised how close things were, including beautiful Colmar and the amazing vineyard covered, gingerbread house villages dotted around it. We bought 2nd hand bikes (our primary means of transport) and enjoyed riding along the canals so close to us. We also took the local bus often. It's not a frequent service but it terminates at Colmar train station, is inexpensive, and so convenient given your bus stop is <100m from your front door. From Colmar train station, we travelled to other French cities (Strasbourg is a must), Germany and Switzerland. Host Vincent bakes and sells bread onsite Wednesdays and Fridays (oh, that wonderful smell). We had some very minor issues while living there but Vincent responded very quickly to those, so we were never inconvenienced. We want to thank our hosts for being so welcoming, helpful and friendly towards us during the 3 months we lived there. We can highly recommend "Le Sesame" and the Alsace region to those seeking respite from the more touristy French areas.
