Obernai, a charming town
Obernai, a town that is internationally celebrated, prides itself on being the second most visited town in Bas-Rhin, Alsace (East of France), after Strasbourg, the European capital. Located on the Wine Route and tucked into the foot of the Vosges mountains and Mont Sainte Odile, Obernai is truly enchanting. This historic town was one of the Imperial towns which made up the Decapole and offers both its population of 11,504 and its visitors an impeccable setting and an excellent quality of life. Here you will find a harmonious balance between the urban town centre, within striking distance of all main facilities, and the countryside, which positively invites you to relax and enjoy your tranquil surroundings.
This Alsatian town’s charm is built on its ramparts, its traditional, half-timbered houses, its Belfry and its town centre, all steeped in history. You will be enchanted by its many aspects: it is a town of culture, sport, business, cuisine, history and flowers. Obernai is actually one of the “Most Beautiful Detours of France”.
