Stop At: Pfaffenheim, Pfaffenheim, Haut-Rhin, Grand Est
As you cross the village of Pfaffenheim, you will see many typical winegrowers’ houses, with porch and cellar on the ground floor and living quarters upstairs.
You will also pass in front of the Saint Martin church whose historic choir dates from 1235. It is typical of the Romanesque-Gothic transition and is the best example of this in Alsace
Duration: 2 hours

Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Zinnkoepfle, Rue d’Or, 68570 Soultzmatt France
You will cross the slope of the Grand Cru Zinnkoepflé at its foot and will be able to appreciate the majesty of this great Alsace terroir. The vines flourish on slopes of 45% in places. Viticulture reaches the peak of demand here. Don’t we say that wine is a stubbornness of civilization?
You will also stop at the foot of one of the oldest plots of vines on this hill, planted in 1936.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Rouffach, Rouffach, Haut-Rhin, Grand Est
The town of Rouffach was in the 5th century a residence of the Merovingian kings of Austrasia who built the castle of Isenbourg, which you will see when leaving the village.
In the 7th century, the city experienced a miracle: the future bishop of Strasbourg, Arbogast, would have resuscitated the son of King Dagobert II, who gratefully offered the city to the Prince-Bishop of Strasbourg.
The city then becomes the capital of the possessions of the bishopric, in the form of Haut-Mundat, of which Eguisheim and Soultz are also part. The city is undergoing strong development which allows the construction of an enclosure that you will partially bypass.
As you cross the city, you will also see:
– the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption
– the Old Convent of Franciscans, of the Récollets (17th-18th century)
– the Old Town Hall (1581) and the Witches’ Tower.
– the old corn market (1524) and the Bailiwick Museum.
Without forgetting the bust of Marshal of the Empire François Joseph Lefebvre born in Rouffach in 1755.
