Crémant d'Alsace is France's leading sparkling wine by volume outside Champagne. Produced using the traditional method - second fermentation in the bottle as in Champagne - it offers a quality and characterful alternative, often at a far more accessible price, for every festive and gastronomic occasion.
With its white plumage, black wingtips and long red bill, the white stork is Alsace's most iconic bird. But this symbol came close to vanishing forever : by the 1970s, only a handful of breeding pairs remained in the region. The story of a fascinating bird, caught between medieval legends, ecological crisis and a remarkable comeback.
Use-by, best-before... These labels appear on all our food products, but their meaning is often unclear. The result : millions of tonnes of food are thrown away every year, often needlessly. Understanding these dates better allows us to adopt responsible consumption, save money and make the most of the excellent sterilised jars from our Alsatian artisans.
Betschdorf pottery - in reality stoneware rather than faience in the strict sense - is one of Alsace's most distinctive ceramic traditions. Instantly recognisable for its characteristic grey-blue glaze and cobalt decorations, this pottery from northern Alsace bears witness to uninterrupted craftsmanship since the 17th century.
Three days are enough to discover the essentials of Alsace, provided you organise your itinerary well. Between Strasbourg, Colmar and the emblematic villages of the Wine Route, this balanced programme allows a complete immersion in the region's heritage, gastronomy and vineyard landscapes.
Alsace is one of Europe's richest regions for Christmas markets. From Strasbourg to Colmar, from Obernai to Kaysersberg, each market has its own character, atmosphere and specialities. This comparative guide helps you choose - and plan your visit.

Vineyard landscapes, flower-filled villages, traditions and regional illustrations... our Alsatian calendars capture the soul of the region month after month. From 2027 editions to collections from previous years, find your ideal Alsatian calendar !
An Alsatian wine label is a wealth of information for those who know how to read it. Unlike other major French wine regions, Alsace puts the grape variety front and centre - a distinctive feature that makes choosing considerably easier. Vintage, appellation, late harvest mention or Grand Cru: this complete guide explains every element so you can choose your Alsatian wine with complete confidence.
Colmar is one of the most visited cities in France and the undisputed jewel of tourist Alsace. Its cobbled streets, colourful half-timbered houses and the famous Little Venice district make it a living postcard, spared by the destruction of the Second World War. The unofficial capital of Alsatian wines and the natural starting point of the Wine Route, Colmar deserves far more than a brief stopover - this complete guide helps you plan your visit and bring home the best of it.
Strasbourg proudly calls itself the Christmas Capital - and for good reason. Since 1570, its Christmas market, the Christkindelsmärik, has lit up the city's squares every December. A look back at more than four centuries of a tradition that has made Strasbourg one of the world's great festive destinations.
Strasbourg's Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of the most fascinating monuments in Europe. Built over more than four centuries, with its spire that long dominated the entire world, its prodigious astronomical clock and its façade sculpted like a lace of stone, it embodies better than any other building the genius of Rhenish Gothic architecture and the deep soul of Alsace.
Traditional Alsatian costumes are among the most colourful and recognisable in Europe. From the great red bow of Strasbourg to the majestic black headdress of the Sundgau, through the floral embroidery of the Vosges foothills, these regional costumes tell a thousand years of history, influences and Alsatian identity.
The quetsch plum tart is the iconic dessert of the Alsatian autumn. Every year in September and October, when the plum trees bend under the weight of their blue-violet fruit, Alsatian kitchens fill with the unmistakable scent of caramelised quetsch plums and cinnamon. On a crisp shortcrust pastry or a soft yeast dough, the plums arranged in a fan make a dessert as beautiful as it is delicious. A simple, generous recipe deeply rooted in Alsatian culinary tradition.
Alsatian Christmas decoration is one of the richest and most poetic there is. Mouth-blown glass baubles, woven straw stars, table sets embroidered with traditional motifs, terracotta lanterns and fragrant fir garlands: each element tells a story and contributes to creating the magical and warm atmosphere that has made Alsace's reputation at Advent time. This guide accompanies you in decorating your home the Alsatian way with authenticity and elegance.

Eguisheim is often considered the most beautiful village in Alsace, and one of the finest in France. Its unique structure of concentric circles around a medieval castle, its cobbled lanes overflowing with geraniums, its shimmering colourful half-timbered houses and its Grands Crus among the most renowned in Alsace make it an essential destination. Birthplace of Pope Saint Leo IX, Eguisheim wonderfully combines exceptional historical heritage with authentic Alsatian way of life.
The Matelote of the Rhine is one of the great overlooked classics of Alsatian cuisine. This freshwater fish stew - carp, pike, perch, eel - simmered in Riesling with shallots, mushrooms and cream, is a recipe from the Rhenish river heritage of rare elegance and generosity.
The Baeckeoffe dish in Soufflenheim pottery is not just for slow-cooking the famous eponymous dish. Used as a bread tin, it provides slow, even baking in earthenware that yields a golden, crispy crust and a particularly soft crumb, easily rivalling the finest Alsatian artisan bakeries.
