    Restored and arranged, these picturesque dwellings invite visitors to immerse themselves in the life of their 18th-century occupants. The Botanical Garden of Saverne, as well as the Rose Garden, offer hikers time to discover numerous plants and flowers.
    Finally, the day ends in Saverne at the Château des Rohan, also called the little Alsatian Versailles.

    Author’s recommendation

    Take the time to visit the Houses in the Rocks of Graufthal, it's a must-see site! Likewise, stroll through the alleys of Saverne, a charming and historic town. It is advisable to book accommodation in advance during the high season.
