Alsace combines several assets that make it a top destination for families with children. Distances are short - one can move from vineyard to mountain, from plain to forest in under an hour's drive - allowing activities to be varied without tiring the youngest with long journeys. The architectural heritage, with its colourful half-timbered houses, storks nesting on rooftops and villages that seem to come straight out of a fairy tale, naturally fascinates children.
Alsace has several quality animal parks, perfectly suited to families. The Hunawihr Stork Reintroduction Centre allows close observation of the region's emblematic bird. The Wesserling Park in the Thur valley combines botanical discovery and children's entertainment in a unique industrial heritage setting.

Alsatian villages, with their colourful half-timbered houses and flower-filled streets, are an attraction for children in themselves. Riquewihr, Eguisheim or Hunawihr resemble fairy-tale settings that naturally captivate children's imaginations.
Alsace offers a diversity of outdoor activities suited to families. Bike rides on the secure cycle paths through the vineyard allow a gentle, active discovery of the territory. Easy hikes in the Vosges, to glacial lakes or ruined castles, captivate children through their sense of adventure and discovery.

Generous and convivial Alsatian cuisine naturally appeals to children. Christmas Bredele, those small sweet biscuits in varied shapes, constitute a full-fledged family activity - their making, often done as a family during Advent, is a ritual cherished by the youngest.
