What can you expect on your glampingholidays in Alsace?
Alsace is known for its unique blend of German, French and Swiss cultures. It is the most north-eastern region of France. Vineyards, half-timbered houses, historical museums, gothic cathedrals: this region offers complete variety.
Discover the centre of Strasbourg
In Strasbourg, on the border of France and Germany, you'll find German influences in the well-known Christmas market, but also in the shops and in the cuisine, taste it! Also the seat of the European Parliament and home to the European Court of Human Rights, it is also known as the capital of Europe. The magnificent Notre-Dame de Strasbourg cathedral with its world-famous astronomical clock is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but walking through the city you will also discover old half-timbered houses and medieval buildings, and even green parks.
Must sees during your summer glampingholidays in Alsace- Vosges
The city of Mulhouse, like Strasbourg, has a beautiful historic centre. The city already existed in the ninth century and thus carries centuries of history with it. Not-to-be-missed sights include the 1551 town hall and the Bollwerk, a remnant of the 14th-century city wall. Another highlight is the neo-Gothic Temple Saint-Étienne. You can also visit a lot of museums in Mulhouse. The most famous of these are the Cité du Train, a museum about the history of railways, and the Cité de l'Automobile, dedicated to old cars. Those interested in fashion should definitely visit the Musée de l'impression sur étoffes, where you will learn all about textile printing. Near Mulhouse, you will also find the Écomusée d'Alsace, an open-air museum where you walk in 19th- and 20th-century Alsace. There are over 70 authentic and reconstructed traditional farms other buildings dating from 1850 to 1950. Old crafts are still practised and visitors can take part in workshops.
The historic centre of Colmar
Also visit Colmar, perhaps the most beautiful town in the region! It is located between Strasbourg and Mulhouse. Fun fact about this town is that the Disney film Belle and the Beast was inspired by Colmar! It is like travelling back in time when you walk through its medieval centre or visit the Maison Pfister and the 13th-century Eglise Saint-Martin. By the way, you can also experience this when you visit the castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg in Alsace-Vogezen; you will feel like you are back in the Middle Ages! Discover what a defensive stronghold looked like in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Did you know that Alsace is known as a beautiful wine region?
Alsace is France's northernmost wine region. Its vast vineyards are mainly located between Strasbourg and Mulhouse in the Rhine valley. It mainly produces white wines, but you can also taste some fresh reds or the sparkling wine Crémant d'Alsace, one of the three protected designations of origin in Alsace.
