For a romantic weekend away, choosing the right accommodation is essential! Choose accommodation close to the places of interest you want to visit during your getaway together. In the Petite France district of Strasbourg city centre, close to the Alsace vineyards, in the heart of nature or in the countryside to recharge your batteries, near the châteaux of the Kaysersberg valley... Once you've decided on your location, all you have to do is choose your ideal accommodation: a luxury hotel with a spa, a cosy and romantic bed and breakfast, a charming typical gîte, a campsite or a gypsy caravan for an unusual night out... In Alsace, the choice is yours!

Some hotels can quickly become overcrowded in high season. To ensure that your romantic break goes as smoothly as possible (it's better that way!), we recommend that you book your hotel in advance. That way, you can be sure of finding a place in your favourite establishment and getting the best price for your night's stay, especially during the festive season when visitors flock to the Alsace Christmas markets.

On the savoury side, enjoy baeckeoffe, sauerkraut, flammekueche, pretzel or munster cheese for lunch or dinner... Gastronomy in Alsace, a heritage in its own right!
