« LES GÉNÉRATIONS QUI M’ONT PRÉCÉDÉ DEPUIS 1737 M’ONT TRANSMIS L’AMOUR ET LA PASSION DU TRAVAIL BIEN FAIT TANT DANS LES VIGNES QUE DANS LES CHAIS »
Marc Freudenreich
«THE GENERATIONS WHO PRECEDED ME SINCE 1737 HAVE TRANSMITTED THE LOVE AND PASSION OF WORK WELL IN THE VINES AND IN THE CHAINS»
Marc Freudenreich
Eguisheim (German: Egisheim; Alsatian: Egsa) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.
Eguisheim produces Alsace wine of high quality. In May 2013 it was voted the «Village préféré des Français» (Favorite French Village), an annual distinction that passes from town to town throughout France.
The traditional habitat of the Alsatian lowland, like in other regions of Germany and Northern Europe, consists of houses constructed with walls in timber framing and cob and roofing in flat tiles. This type of construction is abundant in adjacent parts of Germany and can be seen in other areas of France, but their particular abundance in Alsace is owed to several reasons:
1. The proximity to the Vosges where the wood can be found.
2. During periods of war and bubonic plague, villages were often burned down, so to prevent the collapse of the upper floors, ground floors were built of stone and upper floors built in half-timberings to prevent the spread of fire.
3. During most of the part of its history, a great part of Alsace was flooded by the Rhine every year. Half-timbered houses were easy to knock down and to move around during those times (a day was necessary to move it and a day to rebuild it in another place).
