Meeting with the Alsace stork at the Écomusée d’Alsace

At the Écomusée d’Alsace, take part in a unique experience blending discovery, history, and nature. This real « stork village » houses the largest colony of white storks in Alsace, a fascinating spectacle to discover, especially in June, when nesting is at its peak!
