Hunawihr

Vineyards wrap round this Alsace village, set in a narrow valley between Riquewihr and Ribeauvillé just below the wine route. Its half-timbered houses lead up to a fortified church that Catholics and Protestants long had to share, each with their own space and hours. Legend links the village's founding to Saint Hune, a noblewoman who devoted herself to the poor.
