Rosheim Overview
City Summary
Rosheim, a picturesque town in France's Bas-Rhin department, lies at the heart of the Alsace Wine Route, renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and Franco-German cultural fusion. The 12th-century Rosheim Gate and Romanesque churches stand as historical witnesses, while surrounding vineyards produce world-class Riesling. Its timber-framed houses and slow-paced lifestyle offer an authentic Alsatian experience.
Must-See Attractions
Don't miss the Porte de Rosheim – one of Alsace's best-preserved medieval gates with visible 13th-century fortifications. Saints-Pierre-et-Paul Church blends Romanesque and Gothic styles with stunning stained glass. Stroll through the Old Town's cobbled lanes amidst flower-decked half-timbered houses. Saturday markets showcase local life, while a 15-minute drive reaches Obernai's famous wine region.
Food Guide
Alsatian cuisine shines here: Choucroute features locally fermented cabbage piled with sausages and pork, perfectly paired with Riesling. Tarte Flambée is a thin-crust flatbread topped with cheese, onions, and bacon. For dessert, try Kougelhopf cake with freshly brewed coffee. Summer terraces often serve spiced Vin Chaud (mulled wine) to warm chilly evenings.
Transportation Guide
No airport in Rosheim; the nearest hub is Strasbourg Airport (45min drive). Rent a car or take TER trains (30min) to reach town. Attractions are walkable, but exploring vineyards requires driving or guided tours. The train station is 800m from downtown, with frequent Strasbourg services (€5 one-way). For regional sightseeing, the Alsace Pass saves on entry fees. Note rural signs are bilingual, and GPS signals may weaken.
Best Time to Visit
May-October is ideal: vineyards turn verdant in May, festivals peak June-August (medieval markets), while harvest activities run September-October. Winter (December) Christmas markets enchant, though some wineries close. Avoid late July-mid August when French vacationers crowd the area.
Travel Tips

- All shops shut on Sundays except one convenience store by the station
- Punctuality matters more here than elsewhere in France, especially for wine tastings
