A timeless Alsatian village
Hunspach, a small village in Alsace elected “French favorite village” in 2020, seems frozen in another era. Its white half-timbered houses, with their unique curved windows, are reminiscent of a postcard setting. These windows once made it possible to discreetly see into the street without being seen, adding a touch of mystery to the atmosphere of this peaceful place. This architectural aspect gives Hunspach a unique and authentic character which attracts visitors seeking total immersion in Alsatian charm.
Fort Schoenenbourg: historical immersion under the Maginot Line
In addition to its architecture, Hunspach immerses visitors in history with the Fort of Schoenenbourg, one of the remains of the Maginot Line that is still accessible.

Bombed for nine days in 1940, it still resists, offering an intense experience to visitors.
