Eguisheim: Meeting The Charming City Of France

A charming street scene with colorful houses in the historic town of Eguisheim is an attractive idea. Eguisheim is a town in Alsace in the county of the Upper Rhine. That is, it is located in north-eastern France, 3 miles away from the city of Colmar. This town is famous for its wines and especially for the variety of Riesling wines.

The connection of Eguisheim with wine comes from very old times and specifically from the period of Roman times when the Romans who conquered the village developed the cultivation of the vine and the production of wine. In the Middle Ages, the Dukes of Alsace built a castle there around which the existing settlement developed today. The village is considered the place where Pope Leo IX was born, who served as Pope of Rome from February 1049 until his death in April 1054.

In this article, we will travel together to Eguisheim, one of the most charming cities in France. Below we will give you various ideas about what you can see and do when you visit it.

Organizing your trip

If you want to get to the beautiful town of France, you only have to book a plane ticket to France, and then it is easy! Once you arrive at Paris airport, you will find a taxi at the airport exit to take you to the train station, from where you will continue your journey to Eguisheim. The duration of your journey will be three and a half hours. Arriving there, you can take a taxi to reach the accommodation you have chosen. You can choose between small hotels and traditional accommodations.
Eguisheim is a small town, so it has a traditional character that is not influenced by the rest of industrialized France. The classic character and the magic that pervades this place will enchant you, creating calm and serenity. This is why I suggest taking the train instead of a private car so that you can feel like a local returning home.

Must do & see in Eguisheim

There are many exciting things to see! At Christmas time, you can visit the Eguisheim Christmas Market to do your Christmas shopping; France is generally a popular destination during the Christmas period. Apart from that, you can visit the so-called “3 castles of Eguisheim”, some of Alsace’s oldest monuments.
Another idea is to see the Church of Saints Peter and Paul or Eglise Saints Pierre et Paul. It is a temple that stands imposingly in Eguisheim and is a point of attraction for tourists of Alsace. Of course, a visit to the famous Eguisheim wine cellar, where you will find more than 1000 single-varietal wines, should not be missed.

Alternative Tourism

This place is a reference point for wine lovers. If you’re a wine lover, this is the right place. Here you can taste many types of Alsace wines that are most loved by tourists. Of course, you can visit the vineyards and see step-by-step how the wine is made. As in all of France, Eguisheim wine has a special place in people’s hearts.

Gastronomy

Everything is so delicious here that it will be difficult to resist. You can try stake tartar, onion soup, and snails. But don’t eat too much of it if you want to leave some space in your stomach for dessert! Try creme brulee, profiteroles, millefeuille but also eclairs and chocolates. Each of them will cause an explosion of flavors in your mouth, creating the need to want to try them all!
