The Spa Chez Julien is one of the most famous spas inAlsace. If you ask someone which is the best spa in Alsace, they’ll usually say Chez Julien or La Cheneaudière. Having tried both, I have to say that La Cheneaudière remains at the top of my personal ranking, but I really like Chez Julien […]
The castle of Haut-Barr is located in Saverne, in the north of Alsace. I recommend a visit, both for the castle itself and for its location and panoramic view! Visit to Château du Haut-Barr I’m not usually a fan of castles, even less of the ruined ones, but this one is well worth a visit: […]
The Lalique Museum traces the history of the factory and allows visitors to discover the world and creations of René Lalique and his successors. It’s a beautiful place that I really enjoyed visiting!

Crossing the Rhine on foot and finding yourself in Germany in minutes, with Switzerland in sight: that’s the charm of the Three Countries Footbridge. At 248 meters long, it connects Huningue to Weil am Rhein and is the longest single-span footbridge reserved for pedestrians and cyclists in the world. But is it worth the detour? […]
Summers are often hot in Alsace, so we often want to have a good swim. You can go into a swimming pool, but that’s not very original. Bathing in a lake in Alsace is much more fun, so let’s head for Lake Kurth-Wildenstein. My summary I liked I liked less Beach atmosphere The lake of […]

Actually, you can take boat rides in Colmar on the Lauch, the name of the river that runs through the city: a great way to see Colmar from a different perspective, from the water! It’s certainly a tourist activity, but one I highly recommend. […]
