Known for its well-preserved half-timbered houses, this charming town is a feast for the eyes, offering an intriguing blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. In this image, we witness a detailed view of a timber-framed house adorned with delicate pink rendering over stonework. The contrast between the rough-hewn stone and the smooth, rosy plaster creates a striking visual harmony. The black timber framing adds depth and texture, while the intricate window shutters and geranium-filled window boxes add a touch of whimsy and color. The history of Riquewihr's timber-framed houses can be traced back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

As you stroll through the narrow, winding streets of Riquewihr, the scent of fresh flowers and the sound of laughter fill the air.
