Between Wild Nature and Cultural Treasures If Au Vert chez Diane is a hymn to nature, the region is an ode to culture. The Northern Vosges are not just a green lung; they are a land of history, craftsmanship and art. La Petite-Pierre, the jewel of the Northern Vosges Just a few minutes from the villa, this fortified village is a true step back in time. Stroll through the old town (the Staedtel), admire the 12th-century castle and the shared church, a symbol of tolerance where Catholic and Protestant worship coexist. Don't miss the Maison des Païens and, for a timeless break, the Jardin des Poètes. The event: in early August, the village comes alive with the sounds of the famous Au Grès du Jazz festival, a unique musical experience under the stars. The Glass and Crystal Route Art lovers will be delighted by the Lalique Museum in Wingen-sur-Moder, a showcase dedicated to the genius of glass, or by the Meisenthal Glassworks. Here, fire and sand are transformed into pure art. History and Traditions To immerse yourself in the soul of Alsace, head to Bouxwiller. Between its Historical Museum and the poignant Museum of Alsatian Judaism, a whole chapter of our history is revealed. Traveling with the family? The Hexehof Farm in Bouxwiller will delight the little ones. Further afield, the majestic ruins of Château du Lichtenberg and the astonishing cave dwellings of Graufthal are well worth a visit. L'Échappée in Saverne Fancy a stroll? Saverne opens the doors to its Rose Garden and Botanical Garden. It is also the perfect base from which to cycle along the canal to the fascinating Arzwiller Inclined Plane.
