Rouffach

Rouffach is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France.

Rouffach lies along the Alsatian wine route (Route des Vins d'Alsace). Its vineyards produce one of the finest Alsatian wines: the Grand Cru Vorbourg.

An ecological and organic food fair takes place annually in the town, dealing mainly with bread, wine and cheese.

Rouffach is a city to be respectful of, not only because it is part of the Wine Route but also because there are still some ghosts residing there who will only make themselves apparent if silence is observed.
Few people speak of Alsatian romanticism however it is in fact alive and can be encountered in a good many places.

Rouffach is truly a delightful, charming city, full of souvenirs. And on the right night, if you're lucky, you may be able distinguish among the ghosts we mentioned earlier, those of the famous women of Rouffach, and that of Turenne who had the fortifications razed to the ground after having conquered Alsace, and that of marshal Lefebvre whose wife became famous, perhaps without realizing it, as "Madame Sans-Gêne."
