From 1870 to 1945, Alsace was a major war zone between France and Germany. This tour will explore the history of the Alsatians, first under German rule, then under French. We will discover remnants of these wars and visit Struthof (a concentration camp at 900 meters altitude), a Nazi German concentration camp. For a lighter touch, we will conclude the tour with a visit to one of the most beautiful panoramic views of Alsace and Christendom at Mont Sainte-Odile. It is important to bring a waterproof jacket and warm clothing depending on the weather. A written description and audio guide are available in English for Struthof. In the event of exceptional closures or road closures due to snow, a visit to the Alsace-Moselle Memorial will be offered. More information about my organization can be found on my website. Photos of you and your family are not published on the website to respect your privacy.

Mont Sainte-Odile offers one of the most beautiful panoramas in the region. This monastery is also a well-known pilgrimage site in Alsace, as Saint Odile, who was blind, is said to have regained her sight (Alsatians still flock there every weekend). A walk on the heights also allows you to recharge your batteries thanks to the numerous rock formations and a magnificent forest. Another highlight of the visit is the immersion in the forest and the discovery of the pagan wall surrounding the monastery. 300,000 stone blocks encircle the convent! It makes you wonder how this wall could have been built. I would also be happy to guide you to the Maennelstein to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Alsace plain, the Black Forest, and even the Alps.
