ALSACE YOUR WAY

There's something for every taste in Alsace. Travelling from north to south and east to west, you’ll quickly find this is a region brimming with attractions.

When you stay in the Sélestat Haut-Koenigsbourg area you can really get the most from its central location, which is handy for many of the main tourist sites and offers close proximity to numerous must-see attractions!

Looking for the authentic Alsace ?

The colours of the half-timbered houses are many and varied in the enchanting narrow streets of old Colmar and its "Little Venice". Take a stroll through the heart of Petite France, a picturesque district in old Strasbourg where the facades of the houses are mirrored in the waters of the canals. Definitely not to be missed on any trip to Alsace, Ribeauvillé and Riquewihr are mediaeval towns in the heart of the wine producing area on the Alsatian Wine Route. As the finest village in the country and voted France’s favourite village in 2013, Eguisheim is also well worth a visit.

Many festivals and festivities are held throughout the year including the carnival, wine festivals, floral float processions and folk festivals. The Alsatians enjoy a good time !
