Have you ever heard of the Graufthal Rock Houses? I had already admired these troglodyte houses nestled at the foot of the pink sandstone cliffs from the outside one day but had not yet had the opportunity to visit them. Yes, these incredible blue houses can be visited and it is really worth it! Where […]
We are lucky in Alsace, we have many spas of very good quality. With The Woodness Spa, I tested a spa quite different from others: it is not attached to a hotel, is much smaller, but is private. We reserve it for a half-day or an evening with friends or lovers, and we have the […]
For this unusual hike, I take you to Sasbachwalden, in the Black Forest, with our German neighbors. Two itineraries called “Schnapsbrunnenwege” (the paths of the schnapps fountains, quite a program, eh?) exist in this charming Black Forest wine village located 40km from Strasbourg. Some friends told me about these original routes, allowing to hike in […]

It is a Buddhist monastery where a community of monks and nuns lead a monastic life according to the rules of […]
Here is a bicycle loop in Alsace off the beaten track, which allows you to discover the Zorn region, northwest of Strasbourg and southwest of Haguenau. The area is not very well known by tourists but is nevertheless very pleasant: what if we discovered it by bike? I propose you here the local loop 227 […]
As you know, in Alsace we like to cross borders to visit our neighbors! I propose you here a cycling loop in the south of Alsace, in the Pays de Saint-Louis, allowing to pass by 3 countries: France, Germany and Switzerland. It is about the BL 979 – Small loop of the 3 countries of […]
