"The spirit of the place"
Gaëlle Hochstetter's Favorite Little Corner
This little secret spot isn't something I want to keep to myself... nor play guessing games. But, you see, it has to be earned. Otherwise, the charm won't work. And the spirit of the place won't come and perch on your shoulder...
So, just a few pointers to get you started. A few personal impressions to whet your appetite for going up there... And I'll let you discover it for yourself.
For the starting point, you have a choice. It's in the middle of the world! Well, in my world, anyway. Ban de la Roche, where I come from, is very close. When you have Ranrupt, where I work, at your feet. When you look down on Colroy la Roche, where I live. And when you're on familiar terms with the great Climont, gazing into its eyes, you'll be there! Well, maybe... You still have to find the exact spot. It's a little above the Promont farm, where you can already taste the peace of the place. Along a path marked with a yellow circle that climbs towards a clearing in the trees, where an exceptional view unfolds: no fewer than nine ridgelines stretching all the way to the Ste Marie aux Mines valley!
This is where I settle down for a little evening picnic. Where I often come running, sometimes by motorbike... Always with joy. Because here, I can breathe. Not that I feel suffocated anywhere else. I love my job, my valley, my life. But from here, I truly appreciate the privilege. I hear the bells of Ranrupt ringing and I realize how lucky I am to live and work here. Far from all the hassles and commotion, I let myself be immersed in this landscape. I soak up the calm of this world that has become so familiar to me. And the magic still works.
A butterfly lands on me. I know it's the spirit of the place. And that I'm accepted.
I wish you the same ...
Ah! One more little detail: My favorite little spot is called the Bois de Gaize. Which in the local dialect means "goat".
Pretty, isn't it?
