The Kochersberg is the corner of Alsace where I live: it is an area locatedwest of Strasbourg. It’s nice, you can get there in 15/20 minutes from Strasbourg but it’s not a very well known place for tourists. It must be said that the Kochersberg has tended until now not to put itself forward too […]

In this article, the My weekend in Alsace team has set out to help those who wish to enjoy the Christmas Markets in Alsace with their family. We know that those of you who have children often ask if this or that market is better with children, if special activities are planned for families, if […]

Alsace is beautiful from South to North of course, but I still have the impression that we don’t always think about going above Strasbourg. For me, Haguenau is above all a huge and pretty flat forest and the potteries of the neighboring villages… But it is still the 4th largest city in Alsace! When you […]

The Christmas market of Selestat is not in fact a very classical Christmas market in Alsace. There are small Christmas villages with chalets, but this is not the main asset of the city at Christmas time in my opinion. One comes in fact to Sélestat for its animations around the Christmas tree, which allows to […]

The Christmas market in Obernai is one of my favorites in Alsace. I already told you about it, Obernai is a nice little town in the Bas-Rhin that is pleasant to visit all year long.
