The commentary for these tours is provided by individual headphones in twelve languages (French, German, English, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Korean, Chinese and Japanese) and children also have a fun version in four languages (French, German, Italian and English).

A subsidiary of the Port of Strasbourg since January 2016, Batorama is: 800,000 passengers/year from all over the world, 11 tour boats, the leading paying tourist activity in the area. Since 1947, the Port of Strasbourg's passenger transport department has been working to introduce partners and industrialists to the new port facilities. The PAS quickly felt the potential of its visits between the Rhine and the port basins.

In 1953, he acquired the Strasbourg, then another boat in 1957 capable of passing under the city&#39;s bridges. Urban navigation on the Ill then became possible. The PAS enlarges its fleet and develops its offer of tourist visits in the city centre to make it the largest paying tourist activity in the Grand Est: Batorama.

5 days Pass 

Built in the 12th century, the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle has for centuries been the witness to conflicts and rivalries between lords, kings and emperors. The castle has had a succession of illustrious owners who have left their mark on its history, and numerous events that have changed its appearance... To pass through the high gate of Haut-Koenigsbourg is to plunge into the world of the Middle Ages.

From the lower courtyard - with its inn, forge and mill - to the spiral staircases leading to the furnished flats of the lord, discover the architecture, the furnishings... but also a whole atmosphere steeped in history.

The drawbridge, the weapons room, the keep and the cannons are a constant reminder of the purpose of this mountain fortress built by an imperial Germanic family in the 12th century, which was subsequently besieged, destroyed and pillaged.

Abandoned after 1633, this prestigious castle was offered in 1899 by the town of S&eacute;lestat to William II of Hohenzollern. He dreamed of resurrecting the old Germanic Empire and fulfilled his passion for the Middle Ages by entrusting the restoration of Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle to the architect Bodo Ebhardt, a specialist in medieval fortifications.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the political dimension of this major project was to legitimise the young imperial dynasty of the Hohenzollerns and affirm the power of the new empire in the eyes of the world. Today, we admire more the educational aspect of this restoration, which without being indisputable, is mostly plausible.

Visit of the Écomusée d'Alsace

The Écomusée d'Alsace opened its doors to the public on 1 June 1984. It was inaugurated shortly afterwards by Jack Lang, Minister of Culture. When it opened, the museum had about twenty buildings, some of which were unfinished, but it was already a success! It welcomed 75,000 visitors in its first year. Everyone encouraged the association to continue the adventure. The Alsatians then donated thousands of objects to the Écomusée d'Alsace, constituting the beginning of the interior fittings of the buildings: furniture, clothes, documents, photographs, etc.

Located a few minutes from the city centre, the Zoological and Botanical Park covers 25 hectares and is home to more than 1,200 animals of 170 different species and 3,500 species and varieties of plants in an exceptional natural setting. It is a real place for walking and observing the flora and fauna. The Park has been awarded the national label &quot;Remarkable Garden&quot; thanks to the richness of its botanical collections. Colours and scents unfold in these gardens, changing with the seasons. The Zoological and Botanical Park is also committed to the preservation of biodiversity and has been involved for more than 30 years in the protection of endangered animal and plant species within the framework of international programmes.

Visit of the Zoological and Botanical Garden in Mulhouse

The Mulhouse Zoological and Botanical Park is one of the oldest zoos in France. Born in 1868, the Mulhouse Zoological and Botanical Park celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2018. When it was created, the horticulturist GEIGER Père was entrusted with the layout of the areas (earth movements, paths, fences) and the planting. Between 1873 and 1882, a botanical garden was created. From 1885, the tree and shrub species were labelled. In more than a century, it has grown, evolved, been abandoned and succeeded...

Today, the Mulhouse Zoological and Botanical Park has 1,200 animals in a garden that is home to over 3,000 plants. The Ministry of Culture and Communication has awarded the Zoological and Botanical Park the &quot;Jardin remarquable&quot; label.

Of the almost 170 animal species presented by the Zoological and Botanical Park, 90 are threatened with extinction in the wild. The Park is therefore involved in nearly 100 international breeding and conservation programmes. For nearly 30 years the park has been working in the wild to protect the last populations of lemurs, gibbons, cercopithecines, turtles and capuchins. A pioneer since 1982 and an expert in the reproduction of endangered species, the park presents its residents as ambassadors for their wild cousins in order to raise awareness of biodiversity protection among its many visitors. At the same time, more than 200 endangered plant species from the Alsace Botanical Conservatory are presented in the park; they are the subject of a conservation programme and in-depth scientific collaboration.

Aesthetic and entertaining, the park is also instructive and full of surprises: flowerings, births... With more than 400,000 visitors in 2017, the park is the leading tourist site in the Haut-Rhin and the 3rd in Alsace... and perhaps one of the most prestigious parks in France!

Visit to the Unterlinden Museum

The Unterlinden Museum is housed in the former Dominican convent of Unterlinden, founded in the 13th century. An important monastic complex in the 14th and 15th centuries, the convent became a centre of Christian mysticism in the Rhine Valley. After the departure of the nuns during the Revolution, the buildings became the property of the city of Colmar and were transformed into military barracks.

In the middle of the 19th century, when the former Unterlinden convent was slated for demolition, Louis Hugot, archivist and librarian for the city of Colmar, sought to save the building. In 1847, he founded the Schongauer Society. In 1848, a spectacular archaeological discovery contributed to the birth of the museum: a Gallo-Roman mosaic unearthed in Bergheim was placed in the convent chapel. In 1852, the works of the revolutionary museum were transferred to the former convent. The museum managed by the Schongauer Society opened its doors to the public in 1853, presenting a collection of sculptures and painted panels from the Antonine commandery in Issenheim.

The architects Herzog &amp; de Meuron have combined the buildings with a contemporary extension. An underground gallery with three exhibition rooms runs under the Place Unterlinden and the canal.

The skilfulness of eagles, acrobatics of black kites, dizzying speeds of falcons, silent flight of owls, closeness to vultures or ingenuity of Egyptian vultures: our residents have many a surprise in store! You will discover birds from all over the world that you could not approach in the wild and see them do what they would in the wild. Demonstrations are made with a view to reproducing the natural behaviour of the birds. They are not aimed at making them do tricks or using them as props in a costume production. All the residents of the Volerie are birds born in captivity: no birds of prey are taken from the wild.

Visit of the Eagle Park

A commanding view of the Alsace plain. On the western edge of the foothills of the Vosges, Kintzheim castle stands on a small rocky outcrop that looks down onto two valleys lying to the north and south. Its elevation is 260 m. This hill is about 100 metres above the village. The site includes an area of 850 m² in which the birds are housed, out of total of 3800 m². The display area is 800 m². In the 6th century, Kintzheim was known as Regis Villa. The Merovingian kings had made it the centre of a vast domain encompassing Haut-Koenigsbourg.

Work to build the castle began in 1250 on the orders of Emperor Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, who died the same year. It was completed in the 15th century.

Since it took up residence in the ruins of Kintzheim castle in 1968, la Volerie des Aigles has been working on an issue that is environmental, but mostly human. As a result of unjustified eradication campaigns and ever-expanding agriculture, the raptor population has fallen alarmingly. &nbsp; 
That is why the first park for birds of prey was set up, with the task of restoring the image of those birds in the eyes of the public in a manner that would be enjoyable and educational, helping the birds breed and supporting action for conserving biological diversity.

La Montagne des Singes is also a research centre. Ever since 1972 scientists have been conducting studies in the park, focusing on the social behaviour of Barbary macaques.


Monkey Mountain is an ideal study ground for researchers. The Magots live in complete freedom in a 24-hectare forest. These optimal living conditions, close to the wild, allow them great freedom of action. They can organise themselves into social units and develop the full range of their behaviour.

Numerous theses and master&#39;s degrees in ethology (behavioural studies) are carried out in our park by academics from all over the world. This research work has contributed significantly to a better understanding of the Barbary macaque.

The fortress was built in the 12th Century and for 600 years it was the family castle of the Fleckenstein family. It was extended and improved over the centuries at the same time as the family increased its social status in the world. Reckoned to be impregnable, it did not live up to its reputation and fell without a fight into the hands of the soldiers of Louis XIV. The ruins impress and charm the visitor at one and the same time as they explore one of the finest castles of the Northern Vosges, a natural phenomenon for some, a sailing ship without a crew for the poets, a world of imagination for aspiring knights and princesses. Visit it as you will and in you own time.

Strasbourg and Northern Pass'Alsace 3 days

Fleckenstein Castle was mentioned for the first time in 1174 when Gottfried of Fleckenstein was a member of the court of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. For six hundred years it was held by the Fleckenstein family, one of the most influential in Lower Alsace. From a rock with basic fortifications it became a majestic castle with a reputation as an impregnable eyrie, which inspired the Strasbourg architect Daniel Specklin to picture it as ‘the ideal castle’ in 1589.

It was finally taken without resistance in 1680 by the soldiers of Louis XIV, who destroyed it with black gunpowder.

Curtain walls, fortified gates, 13th Century well tower, 16th Century stair tower, wells and cisterns carved from the rock make up the architectural features that justified the castle&rsquo;s listing as an ancient monument in 1898. They enable the visitor, even if they know little about fortifications, to appreciate the different stages in the development of the medieval castle.

The grimoire, or book of spells, contains the formula that can change mere iron ore into gold&hellip; Since this despicable event motivated only by greed, darkness has fallen on the land of Fleckenstein which is now afflicted by terrible calamities.

The Alsatians and Moselle changed nationality four times between 1871 and 1945. Through an immersive and dynamic scenography, the Alsace Moselle Memorial reveals the particular history of these territories, from 1870 to the present day, particularly during the Second World War.

From 1940 to 1945, Alsace and Moselle were the only part of France to be annexed to the Third Reich and to experience the extreme violence of a totalitarian regime.

This situation cannot be understood without going back to the traces of a region that was disputed for a long time by France and Germany, and today is rich in the cultures inherited from this long struggle.

This place offers a history lesson of universal scope that teaches us the need to unite Europeans in their diversity and in respect for the dignity of each one to offer them peace and freedom. The final space is dedicated to the construction of Europe.

Visit to the Alsace-Moselle Memorial

The building of an historical interpretation centre telling the story of the people of Alsace and Moselle was the resultat of an initiative of Jean Pierre Masseret, then Secretary of State of Former Soldiers and War Victims, and supported by regional elected officials such as Philippe Richert, Alain Ferry and Frederic Bierry. In 1999, Philippe Richert and Jean-Pierre Masseret decided the construction of the Memorial Alsace-Moselle and decided to build it in Schirmeck.

Located midway between Strasburg and St-Di&eacute;-des-Vosges, Schirmeck is at the crossroads of the Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin and Vosges French departments. Schirmeck was the site of an internment camp opened by the Nazis in August 1940. Moreover, the site of the Memorial faces Struthof, the former concentration camp, as well as the European Centre of the Deported Resistance Members, located on the other side of the valley. The proximity of these two sites, as well as their complementary tour visits, makes the memorial a must-see for anyone visiting Alsace.

On 18 June 2005, the Memorial opened its doors to the public. Jacques Chirac, President of the French Republic, inaugurated it on 3 November of the same year.

Visit of NaturOparC

Created in 1976, NaturOparC is a nature park inviting its visitors to a pleasant walk in a preserved wilderness, a place of quietness dedicated to observation, where it is good to stroll! The best advice we can give you is... take your time, be patient and look at every corner so as not to lose a crumb, or rather a feather, of your visit! 

NaturOparC has been in existence for 44 years... and it was under the name of &quot;Parc des Cigognes&quot; that the story began in 1976: the park was born from the desire of Jean-Claude and Jacques RENAUD to protect the White Stork, the emblem of Alsace, which was then in danger of disappearing. Over the years, the park has created new facilities under the impetus of J&eacute;r&ocirc;me, Jean-Claude&#39;s son, to offer its 120,000 annual visitors an exotic and enriching experience. On the occasion of its 40th anniversary in 2016, the name was changed to NaturOparC, more representative of the scope of the missions and activities now offered.
