Nestled in the forest and easily accessible (halfway between Strasbourg and Colmar), Hohwald is an ideal stopover for city dwellers in need of greenery… and this has probably been the case for more than a century, as the village smells like a Belle Epoque resort, in its past glory! No doubt, whether you are looking […]
The bicycle path of the Bruche Canal is, I believe, the first bicycle path in Alsace that I have ridden. Since then, I’ve done it many (many) times, whether cycling from Strasbourg to Colmar or on Sunday strolls. My summary I liked I liked less From Strasbourg to Soultz-les-Bains The Bruche Canal cycle route runs […]
What if one of Alsace’s most beautiful Romanesque churches was hidden away from the main tourist routes? I’m taking you to visit Ottmarsheim Church, east of Mulhouse, right on the Rhine. Its Saints-Pierre-et-Paul Abbey and its unique octagonal layout in Alsace truly surprised me: it’s a Romanesque art gem, and it’s free to discover! The […]

The industrial history of the city is highlighted, but the fine arts and science also have their place. There is something for everyone! Must-sees Are you running out of time? In my […]
Do you know the Donon massif? It is the highest point of the Basses-Vosges (in the north of Alsace, in the Bas-Rhin), located in the commune of Grandfontaine, in the Bruche Valley. At 1,009 metres above sea level, it is one of Alsace’s most popular hiking destinations. I’ll take you there! My opinion of the […]
Picture an Alsatian village from the early 20th century, with its half-timbered houses, craftsmen at work, farm animals, and storks perched on the rooftops. This village really exists, and I never tire of going back: it’s the Ecomuseum of Alsace, in Ungersheim, between Mulhouse and Colmar, right next to the Petit Prince Park. It’s the […]
