10 days in Vosges heaven
We booked to stay a week here in June 2015, as a couple with 5-month baby. (Yep, it does sleep 10!) As it was our first family holiday, I was frankly dubious about how it could possibly be relaxing, but hosts Marie and Phil made sure I was wrong. It was amazing! So much so that we extended our stay and has friends come over for the second weekend (to help fill the place!) - also with 5-month baby.
We arrived in our usual chaotic style, tired from the long drive and wondering whether there might be a supermarche open at this late hour, or whether we'd have to eat pasta+crisps for dinner. Marie got wind of this and whipped up a basket of vegetables, pasta sauce, strawberries and other goodies. Delicious! On the second night, we were treated to champagne and nibbles at sunset with the other guests, and Marie even offered to babysit for us one night so that we could go out a deux!
We made good use of the lovely pool - warm enough for babies, cool enough for swimming - where even beach towels were provided. It was great to have this straight off the hallway with no need to go outside.
The bedrooms were all immaculate and the decor in the whole place is very tasteful. Not only this, but the place has been done up with guests in mind - all the hooks, blinds, crockery etc that you could possibly want in a holiday let (in stark contrast to some places we've stayed in in France!). We were provided with a travel cot, high chair, baby bath & seat and there were various books and games in the communal area, which entertained both babies and adults.
There is a large BBQ on the decking, which could feed an army. When we realised we had no charcoal, Phil and Marie said "no problem" and wheeled round a whole new gas BBQ for us to use instead! Another big hit for us was the baby swing, which our little girl will miss when she gets home. The whole place is very accessible for buggy/kids as its been designed with wheelchair access in mind.
Champdray itself is a small hamlet and on first glance, we assumed that the only amenity was the small (slightly dingy) epicerie/bar... But one evening, as we wandered past a woman chatting in her front yard, we boldly asked "est-ce q'il y a in bar pres d'ici?" Upon which she showed us into her front room and sat us down in a 19th Century kitchen filled with Belgian beers and spirits. A secret bar! If you can't find it the way we did, I'm sure Marie and Phil will give you a clue...
