"A vital need to act, to share ..." Communication is second nature to this 66-year-old retired man, jovial and unfussy.
Philippe Heck came to settle with his wife four years ago on the road to Stosswihr in the "blue house leaning against the hill" as Maxime Leforestier sings with talent.
"I did a bit of everything as a profession but I started out with a Rhine boatman's CAP" laughs Philippe, who continues, "but with my wife we ran a restaurant in Wolfgantzen near the Rhine for 25 years. And five years in Colmar. It was a bit of luck that brought me here ". “Why become a greeter in the valley”? "
I love nature, I love people and contact. This is why I also have two guest rooms which I offer, depending on the case, walks in the surroundings or even for bikers trips in the massif with my 1250 cc Suzuki Bandit! I bought myself the booklet n ° 2 of the trails of the Club Vosgien which will be my vademecum from now on ”. As soon as he arrived in Stosswihr, he registered with the town hall and in the process joined the village festival committee, where he became a member of the executive! He's like that Philippe Heck. A vital need to act and share with one's contemporaries. So, strongly that tourists call on him!
