The tale of Les Logis du Printemps is the story of Marie and Thomas, who found each other to bring their ideas and ideals to life together. It’s the story of two cultures uniting, two lives, two passions sharing common values, and lots of projects in mind with a strong desire to achieve them together.

A meeting, a shared life journey

Marie and Thomas found themselves involved in the same project in the property sector, where they both worked in customer service. This brought them together as they had the same purpose, the same passion: to find homes for their customers who entrusted them with their dreams and hopes. As “property hunters” and scouts at heart, they were looking for the perfect place, finding the best by understanding and fulfilling their expectations and desires.

It is still this sense of service that they offer today and with the same philosophy, through Les Logis du Printemps, but in holiday rentals. We’ll be looking more closely at the objectives of Les Logis du Printemps below.

Marie is French and Thomas comes from a German background. One is more pragmatic and tenacious, with an eye for detail and a desire to do things right that are out of the ordinary, while the other is more intuitive, spontaneous and a dreamer, with a great capacity for empathy. Their complementary personalities and natural curiosity have brought them together and have become a major force in their relationship. They enjoy each other’s company and complement each other perfectly in all areas of life, both in the city and at work.

For several years they considered the family’s options for a different way of life, leaving behind the Paris region, which was certainly comfortable but not very fulfilling, to live and work more in line with their “intercultural’ family” values and beliefs based on ecology, sharing, solidarity, kindness, a sense of welcome, hospitality and service, and more in harmony with nature and their environment.

In short, they wanted to leave their comfort zone and give the whole family a new experience. They went from one encounter to the next, imagining a place where they could settle down and reinvent themselves, a place alive with an energy that felt like their very own.

So, after travelling around several regions of France, the decision to move in July 2019 was a natural one, and what was just a revelation at the outset is now obvious : Alsace has become their new home.

Not only have they moved closer to the German border, and thus to Thomas’s family, but they have also found a cultural environment that is more in tune with their values. As the European capital, Strasbourg and its surrounding areas are among the most committed regions in terms of ecology and environmental protection, not to mention the choice of alternative schools where their children are now growing up in a caring environment with quality education.

They were keen to share their love of Alsace, its cultural treasures and the rich encounters they had with its people and to enable travellers from all over the world to enjoy the gentle way of life in this beautiful region, which they had literally fallen in love with. So they quickly decided to embark on an ambitious new project together: to find and/or create rare places to offer visitors enchanting holidays and true experiences of Alsace. They put all their heart and energy into the project, paying attention to every detail in their quest to ensure their guest’s total satisfaction by designing quality accommodation that is as authentic as possible, and makes them feel welcome in every possible way.

It’s not for nothing that they have now become in their turn Alsace Ambassadors.
