The 3 Brigands, The Giant of Zeralda, John of the Moon, The Mellops… You must know one of these children’s books written by Tomi Ungerer. The artist from Strasbourg, who passed away in February 2019, left a huge mark on the world of illustration in Alsace and in France. But also in the United States, […]

With the Tomi Ungerer museum, the Alsatian museum in Strasbourg is one of my favorite cultural visits. It retraces the daily life in the Alsatian countryside in the 18th and 19th centuries, through numerous objects. The museum, created in 1907, was installed on the Quai Saint-Nicolas, in a typical 17th century building. With its creaky […]

It would be a shame to come to Alsace without not only tasting beer, one of the region’s specialties, but also visiting an artisanal brewery. We’re fortunate in that the region is full of microbreweries and brewpubs, some of which open their doors to visitors. Here are some Alsatian breweries we’ve tried and approved! Visit […]

A few weeks ago, as part of my course to become a Guide Conférencier, I was asked to do a file on the Saint-Léger de Murbach abbey, located in the Guebwiller Valley, at the foot of the Grand Ballon. The name didn’t mean anything to me and I didn’t understand the tourist value of this […]

In La Wantzenau, north of Strasbourg, is one of the largest museums in Europe dedicated to the Second World War. The MM Park is even an essential stop on the tour of the Americans or the British who come to Europe in the footsteps of the conflict. The Museum is however quite unknown to the […]

The Castle of Lichtenberg, located in the Bas-Rhin in the north of Alsace, at the border with the Moselle, is one of the most beautiful castles of Alsace… However, it is not so well known! If almost all visitors go to the Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle, the Lichtenberg Castle is more confidential. I was very surprised when […]

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 […]

The Alsace-Moselle Memorial, located in Schirmeck in the Bruche Valley, is a museum that retraces the history of Alsace and Moselle from 1870 to the post-war period, with a particular focus on the Second World War (1939-1945). Put like that, it can seem boring but the museum is really well done and interesting. It is […]
