Natural sites and gardens

Didn't Louis XIV already say, when discovering Alsace, "what a beautiful garden!" The Bruche Valley is a magnificent example. From Donon to Climont, passing by the Serva waterfall and the Champ du Feu, flowery meadows are scattered in a farandole in the middle of variegated forests !

If art is creation, Nature is an artist. She has left in the Bruche valley a open-air garden !
