Tourism / Discovery
Situated on the banks of the Rhine, Fessenheim is a charming Alsatian village known for its peaceful atmosphere and strategic location on the French-German border. A true meeting point between two cultures, it offers a unique stopover for motorhome travelers looking to explore both Alsace and the German Baden region.
Fessenheim is also the birthplace of Victor Schoelcher, the famous abolitionist. A museum in the village honors his legacy. History lovers will enjoy this cultural visit, while nature enthusiasts can take advantage of the many walking and cycling routes along the Rhône-Rhine Canal or cross the Old Rhine footbridge to reach Germany on foot or by bike.
Just 30 minutes away, Colmar offers Alsatian charm with half-timbered houses and canals. On the German side, Freiburg im Breisgau and its lively old town are only about 20 km away. You’ll also find the Île du Rhin Nature Reserve, a haven for birds and walkers, nearby.
