Departure for a guided tour of Saverne, a lesser known town despite its many places to see and admire. The town has preserved many relics from its past. Founded in Roman times, Saverne was the former residence of the Bishops of Strasbourg. This town has always been a major crossing point and a place of cultural exchange, thus considered to be the gateway to Alsace. You will visit the Main Street, with its unicorn fountain (the unicorn is the town's guardian and emblem), the Katz House, decorated with wonderful sculpted half-timbered walls, the Church of Notre Dame with its porch tower from the 12th century and the former convent of the Récollets founded in the 14th century. Return on board.
PLEASE NOTE
- Good walking shoes are recommended.
- The order of the visits can change.
- Times are approximate.
