Just a few kilometres from Strasbourg, the Kochersberg region has successfully preserved its rural uniqueness and peaceful charm. Here, instead of monuments to visit, you’ll find streets dotted with shrines and bancs-reposoirs - historical benches specific to the local area, bell towers, big farmhouses and endless fields.

An agricultural area, the Kochersberg plays with the contrasts of the rugged terrain and surrounding forests. Formerly nicknamed the bread basket of Strasbourg, this fertile land is perfect for many different crops. The farmers continue to preserve the know-how that has been passed down from generation to generation.
