TOUR DESCRIPTION
Visit Eguisheim, ideally located on the wine road, the uniqueness of this city lies in the winding streets which are abundant with flowers as well as in the beauty of the surrounding countryside. Also visit Turckheim, an old imperial city which has preserved its old-world aspect.
This tour is seasonal and operates from May to October only.
Eguisheim is a lovely medieval village built in concentric circles around its Castle where Pope Leon IX was born. The hospitality of its inhabitants highlights the architectural merits of its half-timbered houses, lovingly decorated with flowers. Since 1985, this passion has been rewarded with the top "4-flowers" rating in France's National Floral Award.

Trip through the Wine Route to Turckheim, a delightful town right out of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Stroll along its narrow streets and the spectrum of its colored houses, where ancient inscriptions can be deciphered on the stone lintels.

Discover the beauty of the Black Forest. See a demonstration of the making of Cuckoo clocks and commented boat tour on the Titisee Lake. Visit a Health resort set in a refreshing forest. A quaint resort with luxurious hotels, elegant shops and sport equipment is unique in the whole Black Forest. A good opportunity to taste the famous "Black Forest" cake.
