As soon as the good weather arrives, everyone gets an irresistible urge to go outside and enjoy the warmth of the first rays of sun.
It’s the perfect time to enjoy a first drink on the terrace of a bar or restaurant, with family or friends. There’s nothing like the refreshing zing of a springtime beer with aromas of spring and fruit.
For more character, opt for the typically Alsatian cocktail: Amer Bière! It tastes even better if you have a fresh, deliciously salted pretzel with it.

Romantic, poetic or contemporary, in the spring, Alsace's parks and gardens look forward to welcoming you for a special moment close to nature.
Embellished with their first blossoms, gardens are the perfect place to go for peace and quiet. Wander down colourful, fragrant pathways or enjoy a moment of pure relaxation, lulled by the birdsong. Come awaken your senses and soak up the first rays of sunshine.
Savour the moment

Spring is the ideal time for great bike rides, to discover nature as it reawakens! In the plain, vineyards or mountains, ride to your heart’s content on more than 2,500 kilometres of bike routes. You’ll be enchanted by the beauty of the landscape in the spring sunshine!
For even more fun, go to the Slow-Up! During this athletic, festive day, (re)discover the Alsace Wine Route: part of it is completely closed off to motor vehicles. It’s the perfect opportunity to make the most of this postcard-perfect landscape, at your own pace!
