Gîtes Bas Rhin

The 3 emblematic places to discover in Bas-Rhin

Discovering Bas-Rhin without exploring its must-see treasures is unthinkable! This département is packed with heritage, cultural and natural treasures that will appeal to the curious and history buffs alike. Here are three sites not to be missed during your stay in a Gîte.

1. Strasbourg Cathedral

A symbol of the Bas-Rhin region, Strasbourg Cathedral bears witness to its rich history. Its facades, architectural details and unique atmosphere make it a must-visit. Take the time to explore every nook and cranny, listen to the stories of the locals or simply stroll around the grounds: a total immersion in the soul of the city.

2. Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle

This iconic site in the Bas-Rhin offers a different perspective on the region. A blend of nature, art and exceptional views, it invites you to contemplate and relax. It's the perfect place for a family walk, an impromptu picnic or a moment suspended in the sunset.

3. The Alsace Wine Route

Finally, round off your exploration with the Alsace Wine Route, a real local nugget. Whether you're a lover of culture, gastronomy or traditions, this place brings together everything that makes the Bas-Rhin so unique. Savour the friendly atmosphere and local know-how, in a setting that exudes authenticity. These three must-sees perfectly capture the spirit of the Bas-Rhin: a harmonious blend of heritage, nature and the gentle way of life, to be discovered without moderation from your Gîte.

The ideal season to rent a Gîte in Bas-Rhin

In Bas-Rhin, each season puts a new face on the destination, and that's what makes your holiday so varied. Depending on the type of getaway you're looking for, renting a Gîte won't offer the same experience, whether you're coming for one night, several nights, as a couple, with friends or as a family. In spring, the Bas-Rhin is gently on the move again, with parks and gardens in bloom, terraces reopening and an atmosphere ideal for exploring the town on foot, staying close to the centre or taking to the edge of the footpaths and villages, while enjoying comfortable accommodation at often more affordable prices and well-located rentals according to travellers' reviews. In summer, the atmosphere becomes more lively, with festivals, exhibitions, outdoor activities and long evenings, making it a perfect time to book a rental and alternate active days with a return to the peace and quiet of your Gîte, like a flat where you can meet up again after a busy programme. In autumn, the colours and light offer superb views, the crowds are down and you can take your time to visit museums, fine restaurants and historic lanes, a popular option for people who prefer culture and gastronomy on a short break. In winter, the Bas-Rhin has a cosier feel, with a warm atmosphere, seasonal markets, illuminations and places to warm up, ideal for a cosy rental and restful nights after a day of exploring. Whatever the season, the Bas-Rhin region offers a range of rentals to suit all travel styles, with a good balance between city, centre, nature by the countryside, and comfortable accommodation.

The 3 must-try activities during your holiday in Bas-Rhin

A Gîte holiday in Bas-Rhin deserves much more than just a night on site. To make the most of your holiday, alternate adventure, culture and gourmet delights, while keeping an eye on the price of your outings and traveller reviews. Here are three must-do activities to include in your programme, whether you're two people, a family or friends, and whether your rental is like a flat in the centre of town or on the edge of nature.

1. Get some height at Mont Sainte-Odile and admire the view

2. Dive into Alsatian history at Strasbourg's Musée Alsacien

If you like cultural outings in the city, the Musée Alsacien is a sure bet, ideally located near the centre. Collections, reconstructions and everyday objects provide a better understanding of local identity, a popular visit for pers who want to enrich their holiday without straying too far from their rental accommodation.

3. Fill up on flavours at the Place Broglie market in Strasbourg

To experience the Bas-Rhin region up close, nothing beats a trip to the Place Broglie market.
