Tour of Saverne France • Including Château du Haut Barr in Alsace France |European Waterways
Tour of historic town of Saverne in Alsace, France - Château des Rohan, the adjacent 15th century Roman Catholic church & Château du Haut Barr. We cruise to the enchanting town of Saverne where history traces back over 2,000 years to the Gallo-Roman times, mooring at the foot of the Château de Rohan, also known as the 'Versailles of Alsace'.
Saverne is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France. It is situated on the Rhine-Marne canal at the foot of a pass over the Vosges Mountains, and 45 km N.W. of Strasbourg.
Saverne was an important place in the time of the Roman Empire. It was known as Tres Tabernae Cesaris (Caesar's three taverns), so called because in the older days there were three taverns on the way to the Lorraine plateau where they would change oxen due to the steep incline. It's a small and friendly town, possessing the region's characteristic steep-pitched roofs and window boxes full of geraniums.
Château des Rohan
The Château des Rohan is the former residence of the bishops of Strasbourg, rebuilt by Cardinal de Rohan in 1779; it was used by the Germans as barracks. The vast red sandstone castle, built in rather austere classical style, now houses the Musée Rohan, the city museum with its large archeological collection of Roman and Celtic artifacts, a hostel, a small arts and crafts museum as well as the collection of 20th century and ethnological art. A feature of the museum is the collection of local Resistance journalist Louise Weiss.
Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité
Alongside the Château, the church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité contains fine stained glass, culptures and a finely carved pulpit by Hans Hammer. Saverne is also known for its famous Rose garden, La Roseraie, with over 550 varieties of roses. It hosts the International Contest of New Roses every year.
Château du Haut Barr
We wander through the narrow picturesque streets of Saverne and then we visit the hilltop 11th century Château du Haut Barr, a former residence of the bishops of Strasbourg with its 12th century Roman chapel and Gothic choir.

France: The City of Mulhouse
The City of Mulhouse is sitiated in eastern France, close to the Swiss and German borders.
It is the largest city in the Haut-Rhin département, and the second largest in the Alsace region after Strasbourg.
Medieval Mulhouse consists essentially of a lower and an upper town.
The lower town was formerly the inner city district of merchants and craftsmen. It developed around the Place de la Réunion (which commemorates its reunion with France). Nowadays this area is pedestrianised. The upper town developed from the eighteenth century on. Previously, several monastic orders were established there.
The Nouveau Quartier (New District) is the best example of urban planning in Mulhouse, and was developed from 1826 on, after the town walls had been torn down. It is focused around the Place de la République. Its network of streets and its triangular shape are a good demonstration of the town's desire for a planned layout. This inner city district was occupied by rich families and the owners of local industries, who tended to be liberal and republican in their opinions.
The Rebberg district consists of grand houses inspired by the colonnaded residences of Louisiana cotton planters. Originally, this was the town's vineyard (the word Rebe meaning vine in German). The houses here were built as terraces in the English style, a result of the town's close relationship with Manchester, where the sons of industrialists were often sent to studyMedieval Mulhouse consists essentially of a lower and an upper town.
