Exploring the Vosges mountains

Have been exploring the Vosges Mountains in the Alsace over the past few days. Swims at the lake in Lac de la Moselotte, hiking la Colline behind the house and taking a trek up to the Montagnes de Llamas near La Bresse.

Met our neighbor Richard and he took Kendra and the kids on a tour of his little farm…chickens, geese, turkeys (with babies), peacocks (with babies), tortoises and trout. He also gave us 18 fresh eggs…so many cool colours from the different varieties of chickens….yum!

A definite highlight surprising to some of us) was the visit to the Auberge Le Couchetat where we had an incredible regional meal, followed by a tour of the 18ha llama and alpaca farm. The farm was set well up the mountain so the surrounding views were incredible.

Lamb, ham, amazing potatoes, foie gras and local cheese
Crème brulée all around!

Had a nice fire and French style s’mores!
