PtitMonde is ideally situated near the Col de Bonhomme, the Hohneck, and the lakes of Xonrupt Longemer and Gérardmer. From our terrace it is possible to see the Route de Crêtes. If you are outdoor-lovers in search of tranquility or motorbike fans, this is the place to be in order to rest and recuperate. After all the work we put into our yard, it is now a beautiful sunny garden, perfect for a relaxing moment in the sun; by the pond, in the hammock, on the grass or in one of the many sitting areas in the shade. If you want to play ping-pong or table football, play music or look around our mini flea market, you can go to the Blue Lagoon. Food is a big deal at PtitMonde. All meals are carefully prepared with fresh products. All the flavors and dishes that we have encountered during our travels are reflected in our meals. That is why our three course dinner is a round the world culinary trip. Enjoy every morning our generous buffet-breakfast and at noon, surprise yourself with a PtitMonde lunch!

Nathalie: After having been trained as a teacher and for years having been active as a primary school teacher and later on as a Dutch teacher and coordinator in secondary education for first formers at the age of 12 and 13, I quit my job in 1998. I sold my house and rode by motorcycle from Holland to Australia for a year. From young age on I have always liked to cook for family and friends. It all started with a cooking book from my Indonesian grandmother. Inspired by travelling, I now cook dishes from any random country. Taking care of a good meal together with a good glass of wine is my great passion. In 2002 I emigrated to Belgium and started my own catering and cooking workshop business: "Smaak & Vermaak" ( "Taste & Entertainment"). In 2008 I became a happy single. In 2012 I started a very happy second life with PeterJan and in 2014 we moved to "the Vogezen" where we now own a Bed & Breakfast! Peterjan: After my IT training I worked as a c Since 2012 we have happily enjoyed our life together: cycling, mountain biking, motorcycling, doing winter sports and walking or snuggling with the pets on the couch. At the moment we are living our dream in PtitMonde!
