St-Louis

Located at the southern tip of Alsace, in the Haut-Rhin department, St-Louis enjoys a unique border position at the crossroads of France, Switzerland and Germany. The town sits right next to Basel, just minutes away, where well-regarded museums and shopping streets draw plenty of visitors. Nearby, the Passerelle des Trois Pays, a pedestrian and cycle bridge spanning the Rhine, marks this meeting point of the three countries, linking the French side to Weil am Rhein in Germany. St-Louis also makes a convenient base for exploring Alsace further afield, with Colmar and Strasbourg both reachable by train or car, each offering their own historic centres and distinctive architecture. Venturing further into Switzerland reveals other worthwhile stops: Bern, the federal capital, lies just over an hour's drive away, making for an easy day trip. With French, Swiss and German influences all within close reach, St-Louis benefits from a lively cross-border setting, combining urban amenities, easy access to Basel-Mulhouse airport, and immediate proximity to the banks of the Rhine.
