In the heart of Alsace, nestled in the charming village of Hunawihr, lies a magical place where nature comes to life in the form of several hundred colorful butterflies. Le Jardin des Papillons is a must-see destination for nature lovers, adventure-seeking families and photography enthusiasts alike.

Ideal proximity

If you stay in one of our guest house in Kaysersberg Vignoble, you're lucky enough to be close to the Wine Route and some wonderful villages to visit. Imagine setting off on a day's exploration from your comfortable accommodation, in the direction of the Alsatian vineyards, with a stopover in an exotic garden where butterflies dance around you.

An enriching bike ride

To make your visit even more memorable, we suggest using our electric-assist bicycles. Not only do these bikes facilitate your journey through the region's picturesque landscapes, they also add a touch of ecological adventure to your stay. The bike ride from Kaysersberg Vignoble to Hunawihr is a pleasant ride through verdant vineyards, picturesque villages and quiet roads.

The enchantment of the Butterfly Garden

From the moment you arrive at the Jardin des Papillons, you'll be greeted by an explosion of color and life. The tropical greenhouses are home to an impressive variety of exotic butterflies that twirl freely among the lush plants. It's a fascinating and educational show where young and old alike can learn more about butterfly life cycles, their natural habitat and their crucial role in the ecosystem.

A Perfect Day

After visiting the Jardin des Papillons, you can continue your tour towards Bergheim, Riquewihr, Zellenberg, perhaps stopping en route to sample some local specialties (tarte flambée, choucroute garnie, salade vigneronne) in one of the region's many traditional restaurants. In the evening, you can relax in the comfort of your accomodation, enjoying the peace and quiet of the Alsatian countryside.
