We initially launched this Best-Of-Upper-Rhine.com blog in order to help our guests staying in one of our holiday apartments in Alsace discovering the beautiful surrounding region within a radius of approx 2 hours driving.
The Upper Rhine (French: Rhin Supérieur – German: Oberrhein) is the section of the Rhine in the Upper Rhine Plain between Basel, Switzerland and Bingen, Germany.
Countries and states along the Upper Rhine are Switzerland, France (Alsace) and the German states of Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse. The largest cities along the river are Basel, Mulhouse, Strasbourg, Mannheim, Ludwigshafen and Mainz.
On the left Bank, we find the French region of Alsace and the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate; on the right bank, the German states of Baden-Württemberg and Hesse. The first few kilometers are in the Swiss city of Basel.
We started with information about Alsace because so many things are happening there during Christmas time. Step by step, we will explore this amazing and compact region of the Upper Rhine. Also – apart from the locals – a “still to discover” region.
Les Remparts de Riquewihr (Ramparts of Riquewihr) is our small family business founded and run by us, Martine and Jean-Paul Krebs. We are a couple of tourism professionals having many years of experience in airline business and travels who decided to restore some old national heritage houses in Riquewihr and create some of the most beautiful vacation apartments.

We think that – especially for a rather long stay (most of our guests are discovering the slow travel concept and are staying 7 nights and more) – it is not enough to sleep well during the night but it is necessary to enjoy the stay in a place which is somehow of the same level as the historical surroundings, the landscape, the mountain and the vineyards: beautiful. We put a lot of effort and care in the renovation and decoration of our vacation rental apartments because we want our holiday homes to be a memorable part of your travel experience to Alsace and France.
Located in the gorgeous medieval city of Riquewihr and in the little mountain village of La Vancelle in Alsace, we are proud to offer 15 beautiful apartments to rent for your holidays.
