The village of La Petite-Pierre and its ramparts, on its sandstone spur
Vosges du Nord · Hilltop village

Your private driver
in La Petite-Pierre

La Petite-Pierre has watched over the forests of the Vosges du Nord from its pink sandstone spur for centuries, castle at its head. This is the Alsace of forests and rocks, away from the Route des Vins. Elsass VTC drives you there from Strasbourg, Saverne or the airport — along forest roads you would rather not discover for yourself on a winter evening.

Why choose a private driver

Why choose a private driver in La Petite-Pierre?

A region poorly served
The La Petite-Pierre area has no railway station and coach connections are rare, especially at weekends and in the evening. Without a car, a stay here is hard to plan. A private driver solves the question from start to finish, including for a late return.
Forest roads
You climb to La Petite-Pierre along narrow, winding roads, through the forest, with no lighting. In winter, they demand familiarity. Your chauffeur knows them and drives them all year round.
The Lalique museum fifteen minutes away
The Lalique museum, in Wingen-sur-Moder, is about 15 minutes from the village. Combining the two fits comfortably into a day, with lunch in La Petite-Pierre in between.
The essentials

The essentials of La Petite-Pierre

The castle and the hilltop village
The castle dominates the rocky spur that carries the village. Around it, a main street, old houses and views over the forest on every side. The whole can be walked in one to 2 hours, without any particular effort.
The Vosges du Nord Regional Nature Park
La Petite-Pierre lies at the heart of the Vosges du Nord Regional Nature Park, listed as a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Beech and pine forests, pink sandstone rocks, waymarked trails: this is another Alsace, far from the winegrowing villages.
Hiking trails starting from the village
Several hiking trails leave from the village itself. Your chauffeur can drop you at one starting point and pick you up at the end of another: hiking stops being a compulsory loop.
The village's small museums
La Petite-Pierre is home to several small museums devoted to local heritage and Alsatian traditions. Short visits, which round off a morning's walk nicely.
A green destination all year round
The village lives all year round, with hotels and restaurants open out of season. It is a quiet weekend destination, without the crowds of Alsace's leading tourist sites.
The La Petite-Pierre area
Bouxwiller, Wingen-sur-Moder, Niederbronn-les-Bains: the surrounding area can be visited in a star pattern from the village. Our hourly hire lets you string several stops together in a single day.

How do you reach La Petite-Pierre without a car?

The village has no railway station and coach connections are rare, particularly at weekends and in the evening. Elsass VTC drives you from Strasbourg, Strasbourg-Entzheim airport or Saverne station, at the time that suits you — including for a late flight or train.

How long from Strasbourg and from the airport?

Allow about 55 minutes from Strasbourg and 60 minutes from Strasbourg-Entzheim airport. From Saverne and its station, the journey takes about 25 minutes.

Can you combine La Petite-Pierre and the Lalique museum?

Yes, it is the most frequent pairing. The Lalique museum, in Wingen-sur-Moder, is about 15 minutes from the village: the museum visit and the village visit fit comfortably into the same day, lunch included.

What is there to see in La Petite-Pierre?

The castle, the village perched on its sandstone spur and the views over the forest can be walked in 1 to 2 hours. Several small museums devoted to Alsatian heritage round off the visit, and hiking trails leave from the village itself.

Can you drop us off and pick us up for a hike?

Yes. Your chauffeur drops you at the start of one trail and comes to pick you up at the end of another: you are not obliged to complete a loop to find a vehicle again. The two points are agreed at the time of booking.
