Practical Advice: Book in Advance

The Vosges attract many visitors during weekends and school holidays. The best restaurants especially Les Bas-Rupts, Fabrice Durain and Ferme-Auberge de la Mexel are often fully booked several days in advance. We recommend booking as soon as your chalet stay is confirmed.

For an even more memorable experience, private chefs such as Aiguier or Aymeric Teixeira remain one of the best options: enjoy a gourmet dinner or a live culinary show directly inside your chalet with a private spa.
