This lovely home and our bed and breakfast for three days is in the Alsace region of France. It is named Le Jardin De L'll and is located in Huttenheim. It turned out to be a very delightful experience. Lily, her husband and daughter greeted us and made us feel welcome in their home immediately. Lily speaks a little English and her German is perfect, so we got along just fine.The picture below shows the entry into the home and peering into the kitchen. I loved it immediately. Lily loves to shop the antique stores and has furnished her home with many finds of the Alsace region of France. See the hearts? I LOVE hearts!! This is why this place grabbed my heart immediately.
The sitting/living home was a delightful gathering place as we awaited breakfast or dinner. Yes, for a price, she cooks a fantastic French dinner for her guests. The Trout and I were enjoying an aperitif of a sparkling wine, Cremant d'Alsace. You know, it is not champagne unless the grapes are grown in the Champagne region of France.
The beautiful old wood furniture, here housing the dishes and glasses for breakfast and dinner. Everything absolutely, perfectly sitting in the right place.
And a picture of the breakfast table. Breads and jams and jellies (notice the 8 jars in the bottom of the picture showing Lilly's homemade jams.) Always something warm from the oven, wonderful coffee in over-sized cups.
We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast for anyone wishing to travel to the Alsace region of France. The hosts are wonderful, the accommodations perfect and the location was good for our travels around the area.
It's hard to recognize that distinguished looking man when he doesn't have a fishing rod in his hand :-) Lily has a truly charming home. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place, it looks fantastic! Your hubby looks right at home there. It all looks so cozy and inviting! Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteMary, I just have to laugh. Actually, he is bonefishing right now in the Bahamas with rod in hand. He doesn't store it too long. In fact, he took the rod to to Austria on one trip and used it.
ReplyDeletePam, this place was very homey and comfortable. Wait until I show you the food.
Your photos are wonderful, Susan. What a lovely experience to stay in such a wonderful B&B.

ReplyDeleteWe love staying in Bed and Breakfasts. It looks like you did your research well. Great trip.
ReplyDeleteSo gemutlich. I love the look of this place. And there is enough space so it doesn't look cluttered at all, just warm and cozy! Love the red and white plaids and the blue and white plaids....Love the whole place!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been having lots of fun! This is a gorgeous B&B and loved your little glass vase that you blew! How fun!
ReplyDeleteI just can't get over how different all the regions of France are. Alsace has such a German influence; it's amazing. and then you go to the south in Nice and it's very Italian. It's part of their charm.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful B&B. I'm jotting the name down "just in case."

What a stay!! They must work very hard to provide the bounty for guests.
ReplyDeleteI love Cremant d'Alsace - it's a shame it's not more well known over here as its better than some of the cheaper champagnes!
