Eguisheim
Eguisheim ('most beautiful villages of France') is found near Colmar in Alsace, in the Haut-Rhin department of France.
Tourist Information and places to visit
Eguisheim is almost an offshoot of Colmar, but has its history as a separate, important, town.
The winding streets of Eguisheim are lined with traditional medieval half-timbered buildings, and is a very pretty town, enhanced further by the focus on planting flowers everywhere!
There are also the ruins of a castle in the centre of the town.
Don't forget to try the local wine during your visit - the wines of Alsace are very highly regarded, and Eguisheim is perhaps the 'epicentre' of this important local activity.
Above Eguisheim can be seen the vestiges of three castles, dating from the 10th-12th centuries: Le Wahlenbourg, Le Dagsbourg, and Le Weckmund. In addition to these, the 'Route des 5 Chateaux' also visits Le Hohlandsbourg (newly restored) and the donjon at Pflixbourg (reputedly haunted, so beware!).
Eguisheim is on the Alsace Wine Route
