What to expect

  1. Eguisheim
    1h 15m
    Start your afternoon in Eguisheim, one of the most emblematic villages in Alsace and a member of the Most Beautiful Villages of France. At Christmas, its concentric alleys, its colorful half-timbered houses, and its small squares are adorned with decorations and lights that create a warm atmosphere.

    Explore the Christmas Point of Sale freely at your own pace. Stroll through the alleys around Place du Château Saint-Léon, discover the fountain, the Saint-Léon IX chapel and the old facades of the historic center, then join the famous Pigeonnier and the ramparts circuit.

    Browse the chalets dedicated to Christmas decorations, crafts, Alsatian specialties, and local products. Take the opportunity to taste, if you wish, a mulled wine, a pastry, or a local specialty.

    Before your free visit, your driver will show you the main places to discover as well as the time and meeting point to continue the excursion.
  2. Riquewihr
    1h 45m
    Continue to Riquewihr, one of the most famous villages of the Alsace Wine Route and one of the most magical at Christmas. Walk freely up Rue du Général-de-Gaulle, lined with colorful Renaissance houses, shops, and decorations, up to the Dolder, the village's emblematic tower.

    Explore the Christmas Point of Sale located in the heart of the historic center: chalets, crafts, decorations, local products, and Alsatian specialties. Take the opportunity to taste, if you wish, a mulled wine or a regional delicacy.

    This step is intentionally scheduled for the second part of the afternoon to gradually enjoy the Christmas lights. As the light fades, the half-timbered houses and decorated streets offer a particularly fairy-tale atmosphere.

    You have free time to stroll at your own pace before meeting your driver at the agreed meeting point for the return to Colmar.
