Chef at Relais&Châteaux, La Cheneaudière & Spa in Colroy-la-Roche (67-Alsace).
Es war ein bisschen verrückt, sich 1973, ex nihilo, einen Luxus-Bergrelais nach dem Vorbild des Schwarzwaldes (Bareiss, Traube Tonbach) in einem etwas verlorenen Dorf in den Vogesen vorzustellen. Dies ist, was Marcel François, ein Eingeborener des Krankenhauses (Mosel), aus dem Bergbau kam, mit dem Glauben des Erbauers. Dies ist die großartige Arbeit, die bis heute von seiner Tochter Mireille und seinem Enkel Nicolas Decker mit dem in Dieuze geborenen Anführer Roger Bouhassoun fortgesetzt wird, der vom Messin Daniel Stein weitergeleitet wurde. Diese Lorrainer im Elsass, aber nahe der Grenze zu 88, glauben an das große Potenzial, die Umweltfreundlichkeit und die Gier der schönen Region an der Kreuzung von Ban de la Roche, Valley Bruche und Val de Villé.
