Discover an exceptional town with many tourist attractions, located in the south of the Moselle in the Pays de Phalsbourg region. It's a dream destination for travelers in search of beautiful landscapes, encounters, heritage and fascinating stories.
A visit to the Plan Incliné de Saint-Louis /Arzviller, the only boat elevator of its kind in Europe, is well worth your while. You're in for a thrilling ride on the Canal de la Marne-au-Rhin in the heart of the Moselle Vosges. Choose between a self-guided visit or a tour on a tourist train or riverboat, and let the whole family enjoy this enriching, fun-filled experience.
The self-guided tour of the site includes: discovery of the new permanent exhibition, access to the high platform to observe the maneuvers, a visit to the "Sophie-Marie" museum barge and then to the engine room.
A tour of the site by riverboat is the best way to experience the inclined plane for real. The tour begins with a visit to the site, before boarding the river shuttle to descend the structure. You'll cruise along the canal before boarding the boat to climb back up.
Visiting the site with a tourist train tour is an ideal way to discover the canal and the superb Vallée des Éclusiers. After the site visit, you'll settle into the tourist train. You'll admire a sublime panorama, with relics that bear witness to its history. What's more, you'll enjoy a relaxing ride (available July-August).
