THE ALSACE ECOMUSEUM

THE ALSACE ECOMUSEUM
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to L’Écomusée d’Alsace, which resembles a real village with houses, a chapel, a train station, a school, gardens, and even street signs. We saw the feeding of the farm animals and my son Coquinou met a coypu! "Each house, with its typically Alsatian architecture, has its own specificity and is an exhibition in itself."

Highlights: We loved the Écomusée! "The inhabitants and artisans show their profession and animate the village throughout the day". Coquinou was especially fascinated by the animals and the “instruments, decor, and period installation” in the houses. It was great to be "cool" since it was the only rainy day during our trip ✨
