The village of Eguisheim

📍 Eguisheim · Haut-Rhin (68)

A member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, Eguisheim wraps its flower-filled lanes and colourful houses around a central castle. The village is regarded as the birthplace of Pope Leo IX in the 11th century.

A wine-growing heart of the Alsace Wine Route, Eguisheim invites you to follow its circular ramparts from one winegrower’s cellar to the next. Take it slowly on foot and look up at the façades.
