Eguisheim

Travel Guide

This hidden village in France - Eguisheim looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale. #OrbitzTravel
Designated as one of France's "Plus Beaux Villages," the picture-perfect village of Eguisheim is nestled in a sunny valley surrounded by the green rolling foothills of the Vosges Mountains. This enchanting medieval village was founded in 720 by the Count Eberhard. Just a short distance from Colmar, this typical Alsatian village has narrow cobblestone streets lined with brightly painted half-timbered houses that date from the 16th and 17th century. Ancient inscriptions can still be deciphered on the stone lintels of the houses. These historic houses feature balconies that are lovingly decorated with potted flowers. Because of its exquisite floral displays, the village has been rewarded with the "Grand Prix National du Fleurissement," France's most prestigious national floral award. Visitors will enjoy wandering through the village, admiring the beauty of the buildings, and the colorful geranium-bedecked window sills.
A medieval village in the Alsace region of France, Eguisheim is well worth a visit. 

The outer rue encircles the main town square filled with many timbered houses. In the centre we where lucky to see the storks nesting on top of the church too.

The space was nice but having to make my own bed and stuffing the comforter into a clean cover was an unfortunate surprise.
