Eguisheim - A Treasure among the vines

I've discovered a real treasure amid the secrets of the Alsace: Eguisheim. This pretty little town in the heart of the Alsatian vineyards is dazzling. Boasting exceptional wines and the Grand Crus of Eichberg and Pfersigberg, Eguisheim sparkles with individuality and hidden charm. Take your time while wandering through the Rue de Remparts. Its medieval past is everywhere, written into inscriptions on the beams of the half-timbered houses, etched into the details of facades. Doors open into delightful tithe courtyards bursting with history. Enchanting and unique, Eguisheim is splendid in the stunning colors of the Alasace. The town also has a more spiritual side. In the half-light of the church I discovered the magnificent and rare opening statue of the Virgin, dating from the 14th Century. Just a stork's flight away, I cam across the chapel dedicated to Pope Leo IX, a native of Eguisheim. Step in, its contrasts are stunning! Eguisheim will captivate you, tantalise you and seduce you with her roundness... How not to love her?
