Activities Department Manager

My favourite month : June. The beginning of summer.
My favourite attraction : the Fête de la Musique. It’s always nice to soak up the summer atmosphere, wandering from square to square and enjoying a drink or an ice cream on a terrace…
My favourite spot : The Ehn trail, a wonderful natural environment just a stone’s throw from the town centre! I particularly enjoy the springtime for walking and taking in the fragrance of the first flowers, or the summer for jogging in the cool air alongside the river... And why not make the most of your stroll by having a picnic at the Parc de la Léonardsau!
Obernai in 4 words : dynamic, elegant, photogenic and so elsässich* (*so Alsatian…)

Tourism Adviser - Activities Department

My favourite month : May. The flowers are in bloom in and around Obernai and the vineyards are an ocean of green.
My favourite attraction : The Easter egg hunt through the town. It’s always nice to see the sparkle in the children’s eyes when you give them a little chocolate gift when they get an answer right.
My favourite spot : The Léonardsau Gardens in the spring or during a concert at the Obernai Chamber Music Festival
Obernai in 4 words : Beautiful, lively, mouth-watering, welcoming

Communications Manager

My favourite season : Autumn It’s a colourful season packed with traditions. It’s the time of year when the harvests are underway, with “vin nouveau” evenings, (where we enjoy nuts, cold meats and bacon... as well as the grape juice which has just started to ferment). It’s also a season during which the weather is still fine and warm.
My favourite attraction : The Folklore evenings to sample a genuine Obernai “tartine” washed down with a good beer. I’m already familiar with the folk dances and know Christian the organiser well, but I still greatly enjoy going with my friends and family. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere between Obernai’s residents and tourists.
My favourite spot : Just a stone’s throw from the town centre, the Ehn trails are perfect for walking. You can go for a walk or go jogging (as I enjoy doing) in the forest, alongside the Ehn, the small river which passes through Obernai.
Obernai in 4 words : A concentration (of Alsace), friendly, medieval, unmissable
