City of Strasbourg

One of the must-sees is strolling through the colourful streets of Strasbourg. With its cobbled streets and many half-timbered houses, Strasbourg is home to a rich and well-preserved heritage with Franco-German influences. If you’re a fan of slow tourism, it’s easy to take a stroll and cross the many flower-bedecked bridges spanning the Rhine. The art of strolling through this charming town, described as “Little France”, where the remains of a medieval city are still apparent. At 142 metres high, Strasbourg Cathedral is an architectural marvel. The second tallest in France and built in pink sandstone, you can’t help but admire all the details that make it unique. It’s also the ideal spot from which to enjoy a magnificent panorama from the platform… 330 steps up!
A symbol of Europe, you will probably pass the Parliament and the Human Rights Palace. A host of museums will liven up your family day. When it comes to food and drink, you’re in for a treat! From beer to sauerkraut, you won’t be disappointed. An unusual outing to the historic cellar of Strasbourg’s civil hospices will plunge you into a historic setting with a medieval feel, where you can discover the precious wines of Alsace.

Travel light! Bus line 230 will take you directly from Wasselonne to the heart of Strasbourg in just 30 minutes (3€/pax).

Climbing

Venture out onto the rock, just a short walk from the campsite, and get some height!
The Kronthal (large cliff and Lion’s Rock) is one of Alsace’s iconic climbing sites.
Suitable for all levels, the Rocher du Lion is accessible to children and beginners alike: a great family outing! It’s also a great activity in summer, when the heat is intense, thanks to its shaded walls. For more experienced climbers, don’t worry, there are 8b routes on the Kronthal cliff…
