ADT - Tourisme en Alsace

As demonstrated by one of the itineraries set out on a fourth century roman map, the region has been crossed by travellers for centuries. In the high Middle Ages, when this land was part of the Kingdom of Burgundy, the Columban monks of Luxeuil moved to Moutier in the Grandval. Their territory was given in 999 to the Bishop of Basel, who became the lord, and southern Alsace (the Sundgau with Ferrette) was annexed to it. After domination by the Habsburgs, the territory became French in 1648. The Bishop-Prince of Basel reigned over this territory until 1792. In the nineteenth century, then during the two World Wars, links between the Jura and Alsace were cut off. The ViaJura Regio has helped to re-establish them.
