Obernai, a medieval town in the heart of Alsace

From Le Pavillon 7, Obernai opens the door to a lively and inspiring side of Alsace.

Famous villages, vineyards, historic landmarks, gourmet addresses and Vosges scenery are all within easy reach.

Explore the old town on foot, follow the Alsace Wine Route by car or cycle through the foothills: every day brings a new itinerary.

Between vineyards and the Vosges, Obernai combines half-timbered houses, lively squares, café terraces and medieval ramparts.

More intimate than a large city, it is known for its relaxed pace, restaurants and quality of life.

Its central position makes it a convenient base for Strasbourg, Colmar and the most beautiful villages of Alsace.
