La Forêt Enchantée d'Altkirch

The Enchanted Forest 2025-2026

From December 6, 2025, to January 4, 2026, the center of Altkirch was transformed into an enchanted forest populated by legendary creatures from the Sundgau. Twenty-five tales and legends came to life through magical scenographies, fantastic characters, and light projections on the facade of the Notre-Dame church.

The program was rich in activities: the Saint Nicholas procession, the street performance "The Fantastic Animals" by Cie Élixir, the outdoor ice rink, the pop-up artisan shop, and the tea room. The storytelling tours offered by the Sundgau Tourist Office allowed visitors to dive into the world of Alsatian legends. Exhibitions at the Musée sundgauvien and CRAC Alsace completed the cultural experience.
