Saverne
4th and 5th September, 2023
We decided to checkout one more little town before we hit Strasbourg.
Saverne still has quite a large Old Town area, it’s tucked in around the Canal De La Marne Au Rhin, so lots of their lifestyle and leisure is based around the canal. It is one the busiest canal boat areas in France.
Our visit over the two days saw us in the Old Town area on the first day, seeing the Church Notre-Dame De La Nativite, the main old town square and the canal with its lock. Next day we drove out to see the Saint-Louis Arzviller Boat Incliné Lift, a glassblowing crystal workshop and the Chateau Du Haut-Barr ruins, where we had an unexpectedly nice lunch stop amongst the ruins and some fantastic views over the Saverne area.
Plenty of clear blue skies and sunny days and even a sweet sunset made for a lovely couple of days.
RIP Jimmy Buffet, thanks for all the great songs you gave us to sail into the sunset, Margaritas in hand, of course.
