Steige

In the heart of the Villé valley, Steige charms with its authentic character and peaceful setting. The street-village stretches between traditional Vosges houses, recognizable by their decorated lintels, which are testimonies to the local architectural heritage. Nestled in a back valley, it invites leisurely strolls and exploration of its preserved lanes, far from urban hustle and bustle.

Steige also marks a milestone in medical history: it is the birthplace of Joseph Meister, the first human vaccinated against rabies by Louis Pasteur. This iconic chapter adds a historical and commemorative dimension to the village, attracting heritage enthusiasts.

Steige's reputation also extends to its local products. The Nusbaumer distillery continues the Alsatian expertise in spirits, while local farms offer meats and charcuterie, cheeses such as Munster and Bargkass, as well as artisanal ice creams. These encounters with producers allow visitors to savor the authentic flavors of the valley and share their passion for a generous terroir.
