Saverne is a cute little town in Bas-Rhin, at the crossroads of the Northern Vosges and the Hautes Vosges.
The town, like many Alsatian towns, is marked by the red sandstone and the Rohan passages.

Saverne is a charming little town in Lower Alsace with a historic town center, many half-timbered houses, a huge neoclassical castle, and several waterways near the old town. It's worth a visit and not overcrowded. 👍🤩
