Discovering the Fairytale Villages of Alsace: Riquewihr, Eguisheim, and Kaysersberg

Discovering the Fairytale Villages of Alsace: Riquewihr, Eguisheim, and Kaysersberg

Explore the enchanting landscapes, history, and charm of Alsace's most picturesque villages.

1. Riquewihr: A Medieval Village in the Heart of Alsace Wine Country

Riquewihr is often referred to as the "Pearl of Alsace," and it’s easy to see why. Tucked between vineyards, this tiny village has preserved its medieval charm remarkably well, despite its proximity to the border and the history of wars in the region. Riquewihr’s beauty is so timeless that it served as inspiration for the village in Disney's *Beauty and the Beast*.

  • The Dolder Tower: A 13th-century fortified gate offering sweeping views of the village and vineyards.
  • Wine Tasting: Sample excellent Rieslings and Gewürztraminers at local wineries.
  • The Old Town: Wander through cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses and wrought-iron signs.

2. Eguisheim: The Circular Village That Stole Our Hearts

Eguisheim is a picture-perfect village recognized as one of France’s "Most Beautiful Villages." Its unique circular layout, with streets spiraling outward from a central square, makes it a joy to explore on foot.

  • Saint-Leon Fountain and Chapel: A peaceful spot to admire the beautiful frescoes and fountain.
  • Château Saint-Léon: A castle-like structure that adds to Eguisheim's fairy-tale charm.
  • The Vineyards: Known for producing crisp Rieslings and aromatic Pinot Gris.

3. Kaysersberg: A Jewel on the Alsace Wine Route

Kaysersberg is known for its fortified bridge and spectacular location nestled in the vineyards. It offers a magical combination of nature and history, particularly during the Christmas season.

  • The Château de Kaysersberg: A ruined medieval castle with stunning views of the surrounding area.
  • The Fortified Bridge: A 16th-century landmark and a fantastic spot for photography.
  • Christmas Market: One of the most traditional markets in the region, with handmade crafts and Alsatian treats.
