Gertwiller

Perched between the plain and the vineyard-covered hills, Gertwiller charms with its colorful facades and artisanal heritage.

This charming Alsatian village has earned a renowned reputation as the regional capital of gingerbread, a delicious specialty that has won over palates far beyond its borders.

This success is built on the talent and passion of local pastry chefs, whose know-how has been passed down through generations.

Today, two emblematic companies continue this tradition: Maison du Pain d’Épices, run by the Lips family, and Palais du Pain d’Épices, led by the Fortwenger family. These artisans, proud guardians of a culinary heritage, offer treats that captivate visitors with their softness and subtle aromas.
