Today I invite you to discover lots of images of the pretty village of Obernai in Alsace, France

which is a picturesque village where nothing is missing to show the Alsatian charm, and that we visited in August of last year (my in-laws is Alsatian 馃槉)

Obernai is the second most visited town in Bas-Rhin after Strasbourg, especially for its beautiful half-timbered houses.

A small tourist town but which nevertheless remains very accessible for photographs of streets that are not too crowded 馃槈

The marketplace

this place hosts a market every Thursday morning, and this, since 1301 ..!

Here we see the tower of the chapel, Kappelturm, which is a belfry dating from the 15th and 16th century, whose spire rises to 60 m,
and the town hall that we see next to it, a 16th century renaissance style building classified as a historic monument in 1900

here we can see enthroned in the middle of the square, the Sainte-Odile fountain which was built in 1904 in homage to the patron saint of Alsace 馃槉

By now operating a U-turn, we can admire behind the fountain of Ste Odile, a white building surmounted by a bell, that is the old corn exchange, la Halle au bl茅 which once housed the municipal butcheries, in the 16th century, then the storage of grain in the 19th

This renaissance-style building has been a restaurant since 1969 which has also taken over the name "Halle au Bl茅"

One can see on the chimney one of the many stork nests which one finds everywhere here,

this bird is very widespread in the region and is even the symbol of Alsace馃槈

We now engage in the picturesque pedestrian streets of Obernai in order to admire the typical architecture of its houses and the charm of their half-timberings.
