Eguisheim

Haut-Rhin, Grand Est

Ranked among the Most Beautiful Villages of France since 2003, national flower prize since 1989, gold medal of the European Entente Florale competition in 2006... Eguisheim, cradle of the Alsace vineyard, wound in concentric multicoloured circles around its castle, no longer counts its titles of nobility. At Eguisheim, it is good to stroll along the lanes, in the warm light that varies with the seasons, enhancing the coloured palette of the houses nestled in the hollow of the ramparts. Your visit is a must!
