JOURNEY
TO THE UNEXPECTED

SÉLESTAT

Giant’s footsteps? Lion paw prints?

Here’s how to be caught by surprise at Sélestat, just labelled a “Ville d’art et d’histoire” (Art and history town)!

Follow the footsteps of the giant Sletto – the legend of whom states that he founded the town of Sélestat and gave it its name – and his four-legged companion (a nod to the lion who adorns the town’s armouries), and you will discover a cultural and architectural heritage unique in Alsace.

Did you know that, tired from his travels, the giant Sletto chose to live at the Hotel Les Humanistes**** and slept peacefully each night in its garden, sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the town?

Look closely, around a thicket, close to a shrub, you can clearly see the tip of his nose appear… delicately open to breath!

ON THE “ROUTE
DES VINS”

Do you want to experience an authentic sensory journey? Just 3 minutes from the Hotel Les Humanistes****, the Route des Vins d’Alsace (Alsace Wine Route) invites you on its enchanting 170 km path.

It is one of the oldest tourist routes in France, and no doubt one of the most animated. It winds prettily along the hills and through magnificent wine-growing villages, some of which are classified as the most beautiful villages in France.

Between tastings, discoveries and shared moments, you will adore experiencing the most intoxicating of adventures in the land of the vineyards!
