After breakfast at the hotel, you will have free time. Guests who wish may join an optional tour to Eguisheim, Colmar, and Riquewihr (100 EUR). Our first stop is Eguisheim, one of Alsace's charming towns.

A member of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France" association since 2003, Eguisheim was voted "France's Favorite Village" in 2013. After our visit to Eguisheim, we proceed to our second stop, Colmar. Known for its colorful houses, flower-lined streets, and enchanting beauty, Colmar holds great significance as the starting point of the Alsace Wine Route. The canals that enhance Colmar's charm are tributaries of the Rhine River. The vibrant historic buildings lining the river, some dating back to the 12th century, are the city's most distinctive and notable feature. During our tour of Colmar, we stroll through its carnival-like streets, visiting St. Martin's Cathedral with its large stork nests, Rue Marchande (Merchants' Street), and the Petite Venise ("Little Venice") district.
