La Balsamine

The charm of a house of old, the comfort of today

At 70 rue de Lorraine, La Balsamine occupies an elegant 18th-century townhouse in the historic heart of Lunéville. Behind its white-shuttered front unfold three floors of high-ceilinged rooms, parquet and panelling, for a warm and genuine welcome.

Made for families and long tables, this house of character sleeps up to twelve in six comfortable bedrooms — a grand gîte in Lunéville where every detail, from the household linen to the marble fireplace, makes for a moment apart.
