Eguisheim

The town of Pope Leo IX

With its cobbled streets and its flower-decked historical houses, Eguisheim is one of Alsace's most attractive villages. Who could fail to fall under the spell of this charming village, in which time almost seems to have stood still. The town is particularly known for its round layout, following the former lines of its ramparts. When strolling through its streets, visitors often stop to admire the many houses dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, some of which have magnificent courtyards. In the main square, a statue of Pope Leo IX reminds us that Alsace's only Pope originated from this village. Nestling in the heart of the vineyards, Eguisheim is a leading tourist attraction along the wine route. During the winegrowers' festival in the summertime, the village throws open its wine cellars to celebrate one of the region's leading festivities. Some 12,000 people flock here to enjoy good music and fine wine.
