Walpurgisnacht at the Ecomuseum of Alsace

Legend has it that on the night of Walpurgisnacht, the pagan deities of spring came out into nature to put an end to winter. To mark this special event, the alleys of the Écomusée d'Alsace will be lit up with a thousand and one lights, and lulled into a warmly superstitious atmosphere. Immerse yourself in these ancestral rites linked to nature, and let yourself be carried away by the legendary stories associated with Walpurgisnacht.
Your guided tours will be punctuated by stories of black cats and other superstitions, sure to arouse your curiosity. Come along with your family or friends to share this unusual experience! Don't worry: to ward off bad luck, potions and elixirs, ghostly creatures on the prowl, observations of the little beasts of the night, witchcraft lessons and trials, tales of black cats and other superstitions are all on the program!

About
Ecomusée d'Alsace
L'ÉCOMUSÉE D'ALSACE, A TRADITIONAL VILLAGE IN THE HEART OF NATURE
--
BUILDINGS & BIODIVERSITY
Today, the Ecomusée d'Alsace consists of a village of 80 buildings representative of Alsace at the beginning of the 20th century, all dismantled from their commune of origin and reassembled in the museum. Around the village, on an area of 97 hectares, you'll find 4 signposted trails to discover biodiversity, as well as agricultural areas in biological transition.
Be curious! Push open the door of each house to discover the treasures it contains: a converted interior, an exhibition, a craftsman's workshop or a stable with animals!
