Our must-see experiences are listed in the gallery below.
We’ll take you on a tour of the beautiful city of Strasbourg and its Grande Ile. You’ll see the city’s jewels, such as Petite France and its half-timbered Alsatian houses, or the sumptuous Strasbourg Cathedral, a prodigy of the gigantic and the delicate, as Victor Hugo liked to say!
But Strasbourg also has another well-known district: the European Quarter. The Alsatian capital is known as the ‘Capital of Europe’ because it is home to two major European institutions: the European Union and its Parliament, and the Council of Europe. To learn more about Strasbourg’s European history, book a 2-hour experience in the heart of the European quarter!
60 kilometres down the road, we head for Colmar! A change of scenery, heading for a charming little town nicknamed the “Little Venice of Alsace”. Alsatian houses, storks, canals – it’s a picture postcard! Colmar is also known as the capital of Alsace wines, and you’ll have plenty of opportunity to discover this during your visit !
In Strasbourg, there are lots of great and very different districts to discover close to the city centre.
The city has a great street-art culture, with many local and international artists, which I’d be delighted to show you on an unusual visit to the Strasbourg Central Station area.
Strasbourg’s central station, built during the city’s German imperial period, is one of the many legacies of the period from 1871 to 1918, when the city underwent an architectural metamorphosis at the instigation of the various German emperors. To delve deeper into this history, I suggest another visit around this famous “Neustadt” (translated as “New Town”) where you will be impressed by the monumentality and singularity of the different buildings that adorn this new city.
The history of our city has been built on this dual culture and dual influence between France and Germany. I’d like to take you on a tour of Strasbourg’s border district, where we’ll discover the old Cooperative district on the French side and Kehl-am-Rhein on the German side. 2 countries, 1 visit.
It’s hard to forget Colmar! The Alsace Wine Capital has many secrets, not just wine and half-timbered houses. Did you know that Colmar is the home of Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty in New York? That’s just one of the many anecdotes we’ll discover on this unique and unusual tour of Colmar.
Alsace isn’t just Colmar and Strasbourg! It’s a magnificent region with many very different places to visit.
Let’s discover the beautiful town of Obernai, at the heart of the Alsace Wine Route. With its sumptuous Market Square, belfry and medieval ramparts, you’ll be surprised by the beauty of Obernai.
Speaking of surprises: the surprising town of Saverne. Crossed by the impressive Canal de la Marne au Rhin and the River Zorn, Saverne is a port town in the heart of the Vosges du Nord Nature Park. Together, we’ll discover the history of Saverne, its beautiful half-timbered houses such as the Maison Katz, but also its importance in the history of Alsace with the Château des Rohan and above all the famous Affaire de Saverne, which had a profound impact on the German Empire under Wilhelm II.
And what about Alsace’s second-largest city? Mulhouse, Alsace’s second largest city, also has a singular and very rich history. A former industrial town, Mulhouse was for a long time known as the “Manchester” of Alsace. But Mulhouse also boasts a rich street-art culture, magnificent painted walls, an alliance with Switzerland, a Reunion with France in 1798, the birthplace of Alfred Dreyfus… Hundreds of anecdotes to tell you during this 2-hour tour.
