At the foot of the vosges, a stone’s throw from Germany, Switzerland and Belgium, Obernai is ideally located, 15 miles from the european capital, Strasbourg.
This town, the second one the most visited in the Bas Rhin, will delight you by its perfect balance between tradition and modernism.
Point of departure for the wine road, its convivial cellars and its warm wine growers, you be charmed by the alsatian gastronomy, from the traditionnal “winstubs” to the star tables where tastes and flavours are enhanced by talented Chefs.
Ste Odile’s birthplace, at the foot of the mount which is called after her, history lovers will be filled with joy by the medieval architectureof its fortifications, the mark of the Renaissance whose most beautiful examples are “le Halle aux Blés”, “le Kappelturm” and “the Puits à Six Seaux”.
But Obernai is also different because of its cultural dynamism, from its theatre to its festivals, from its traditionnal Christmas market to its wine and grape harvest festival, without forgetting classical or contemporaneous concerts where all the continents can meet; every day Obernai offers to stimulate your mind or just to fill you with wonder.
