Throughout the festive season, you are invited to stroll through an enchanting world where the scent of mulled wine mingles with that of gingerbread and traditional Bredele biscuits. The Christmas market is impressive in its size and extends over several districts of Grande-Île island, where breath-taking illuminations and decorations adorn the city.

Strasbourg, city of Love
For several years now, the Alsatian capital has had a festival centred on love during the Valentine's Day period. With its architectural beauty, half-timbered houses, canals, bridges and history, Strasbourg is a city with a romantic soul. For the lovers' festival, there are of course charming walks and dinners for two. But the “Strasbourg mon Amour” festival also offers a number of unusual events based on a theme that is renewed every year.
Beautiful excursions
around the city
Strasbourg's exceptional cultural appeal resonates with the surrounding region. Just a few kilometres from the city, a rare setting opens up to lovers of authenticity and history. It begins with the region's fortified castles such as Haut-Koenigsbourg, Bernstein and Fleckenstein. Then, from the castles to the vineyards, there is only one path to follow by bike. The mythical Route des Vins can be travelled by bicycle and takes you through vineyards and picturesque villages: Marlenheim, Obernai, Ribeauvillé, Kaysersberg, Riquewihr and Gertwiller. This is an opportunity to stop off at a cellar and taste the great Alsatian wines, including the famous Gewurztraminer. For the more adventurous, extend your visit to Mont Sainte-Odile before continuing to the Haut-Rhin and its thousand wonders.
