Eguisheim is one of the most charming villages along the Alsace Wine Route. It features lovely cobblestone streets lined with traditional half-timbered houses painted in bright colors.

Pope Leo IX was born in Eguisheim, and a chapel is dedicated to him. The castle of the Counts of Eguisheim, in the heart of the village, overlooks a small square.

There are quite a few art galleries in Eguisheim, as well as some fine restaurants, and the Christmas market season is truly enchanting.
