Why is June the Best Month to Visit Alsace?

In Alsace, the month of June offers magnificent colours. Geraniums in bloom adorn the facades, and the vines take on beautiful deep green hues, tinged with white touches indicating the flowering period.

Storks are also back in their nests, scattered across the rooftops of the finest Alsatian villages.

In June, the pleasant temperatures allow you to take full advantage of outdoor activities without suffering from the heat, including:

• walks along the Alsace Wine Route (from Marlenheim to Thann, 170 km of vineyards and fairytale villages);
• hikes in the Vosges (marked trails allow you to reach superb viewpoints over the region);
• bicycle rides between vineyards and forests (electric models allow you to travel long distances without fatigue);
• sunny terraces in the heart of the villages (to savour Alsatian specialities).

The month of June allows you to discover Alsace in a more serene atmosphere, well before the high season and the influx of tourists in July and August. Tourist sites are therefore more accessible, allowing you to enjoy a more authentic experience.

This more relaxed atmosphere allows you in particular to:

• stroll through the lanes without the crowds;
• visit the cellars and meet local producers;
• enjoy the regional markets;
• savour Alsatian gastronomy on a terrace.

The month of June also marks the return of festivities and seasonal specialities. Local markets abound with fresh produce, whilst wine estates begin to offer tastings and summer events.

It is an excellent period in which to discover:

• Alsatian wines in a convivial atmosphere;
• the first summer evenings;
• festivals and cultural events;
• regional specialities revisited with summer flavours.

Between terroir, conviviality and art de vivre, Alsace in June captivates all travellers in search of authenticity.

The luminous days and mild temperatures of June create an atmosphere conducive to rest for body and mind. During your stay, be sure to pause for a moment between visits.

By choosing a spa hotel, you may enjoy a moment of relaxation in the sauna or hammam, as well as a relaxing massage in a jacuzzi.
