Traditional Half-Timbered Houses of Sundhoffen

Highlight • Historical Site

Sundhofen in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace is a very old place. It was first mentioned in the year 768. It is located on the river Ill. There are still old wineries in the town center. However, most residents are commuters.

Straw Chimpanzee Sculpture at Neuf-Brisach Fortifications

Highlight • Structure

The fortifications of Neuf-Brisach are definitely worth a detour, even if the animal sculptures, made from perishable natural materials, can no longer be found there.

Fortifications of Neuf-Brisach

Highlight • Other

Neuf-Brisach is the city of the Sun King: it was founded in 1699 by the sole will of Louis XIV. Today, this citadel is considered Vauban's masterpiece. This architecturally unique structure in Europe has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its very existence, its clear and unbroken lines, its 48 blocks arranged in a regular octagon, its fortifications equipped with bastions... make this place a truly unique sight.

Neuf-Brisach

Highlight • Settlement

Neuf-Brisach is an Alsatian town steeped in history. Built after the loss by the kingdom of France of Vieux-Brisach on the other side of the Rhine, it symbolizes the Franco-Germanic relationship. It is now separated from its German counterpart by the bridge over the Rhine. More than a simple construction, this bridge symbolizes the link between the two countries.

Built ex nihilo in 1697 by Vauban on the orders of Louis XIV, Neuf-Brisach is part of the network of major Vauban sites and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Located on the routes of EuroVelo 15 and the cycle route between Colmar and Fribourg, it is an essential stop for cycling. Walking along its ramparts and discovering its streets following the characteristic octagonal plan of the city is very pleasant.
