“Towns in Bloom” prices every year. Through their
festivals and
their traditions, they have managed to preserve a strong identity
based on a particular way of living.Several gastronomic trails invite

excellent excuse for travelling all over the South of Alsace. The
Sauerkraut Trail, which is more well-known, will satisfy all the lovers
of this typical dish. And not to forget the Cheese Trail, which will
ensure that you can serve exceptional cheeses to your guests!
This array of flavours goes very well with the wine produced by the
Alsatian vineyards, whose wines offer bouquets of astounding diversity.

region as a family while enjoying a sporting break at the same time.
