Why not try sylvotherapy in Alsace? This ancestral Japanese practice, also known as “Shinrin-yoku” or “forest bathing”, involves plunging into nature to recharge one’s batteries. If Alsace’s vineyards are legendary, the region’s forests are not to be outdone, offering an experience that awakens all your senses. Breathing in the fresh air scented by coniferous trees, […]
The Wangenbourg region is located 45km west of Strasbourg. It is a corner nicknamed “The little Switzerland of Alsace” because of its hilly and wooded landscapes as well as its scattered habitats. It’s true that it might remind you of it sometimes, but don’t expect to find yourself in the Alps either 😉 Nevertheless, the […]
Hissez ho, moussaillons! From July to September, Alsace Plaisance is offering you the chance to take the controls of an electric boat without a license, and sail for 1 hour on the Rhone-Rhine canal in Mulhouse. The pier is located behind the Museum of Textile Printing, a short walk from the train station and the […]

As you know, I like to test many cycling loops in Alsace. We are fortunate to have a lot of different itineraries to choose from, where you can enjoy yourself no matter what your level is. This cycling loop around Saverne, which is the BL 370 “Rohan castles and abbeys”, is for those who like […]
After having discovered a cycling itinerary in the Thur valley some time ago, I’m taking you today on a new cycling loop, this time straddling the Thur and Doller valleys, the two most southern valleys ofAlsace. A shorter bike ride than the previous one: only 26km you, but you will still have to make a […]
In this blog post, I give you my ideas for hikes of all levels and durations to discover the Alsatian Jura! The Alsatian Jura, really? Yes, even the Alsatians don’t usually believe it when they are told about it, but the Jura moutains are also in Alsace! It is located at the southern end of […]
