About this property

CHARMING HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY

  • Charming gite for 2/7 people, renovated in 2011, in Birkenwald, a typical little village in northern Alsace (on the border with the northern Vosges mountains, 35km from Strasbourg), famous for its castle, its deer park and its two restaurants popular with connoisseurs.
