Trips to Gerardmer

Eguisheim is regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in France, with its lush vineyards draping the fields like a picturesque blanket. Here, you can enjoy wine tastings at several of the vineyards or visit a charming local restaurant to savor traditional dishes.

Located in the Haut-Rhin area of Alsace in northeastern France, Eguisheim is particularly noted for its high-quality Alsace wines. The village center is a popular travel destination, drawing people from around the world. Eguisheim is recognized as one of "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" (The Most Beautiful Villages of France), an association that selects the country's most noteworthy places.

The village boasts a rich history reflected in the architecture—half-timbered houses, bright facades, and pointed roofs. Cobblestone streets and Saint-Leon Square are adorned with stunning floral arrangements. The village has won national and European accolades for its beauty, including the National Grand Prix of Flowering in 1989 and a gold award in the European Entente Florale in 2006.

Château Saint-Léon, built between the 10th and 11th centuries, is a captivating sight in the heart of Eguisheim. Recognized as a "monument historique" by the French Ministry of Culture in 1903, it is a must-visit during your trip.

For families, a great option is visiting Cigoland - Parc des Cigognes et Attractions, located in Kintzheim about 30 km from Eguisheim. This amusement park offers several rides, a circus, and a variety of animals such as horses, llamas, and donkeys for children to interact with.
