    The town of Châtenois, with approximately 4,300 inhabitants, is located in the Grand Est region and belongs to the Bas-Rhin department, Sélestat-Erstein arrondissement. A wine-growing community, Châtenois lies at the foot of the Hahnenberg (530 m) in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains, on the Alsace Wine Route and the EuroVelo 5 Alsace Vineyard Cycle Route.

    Before the town's founding, the Romans planted a chestnut forest there. The French name "Châtenois" is derived from this, and is synonymous with the original dialectal Alemannic name "Keschtaholtz" – meaning "chestnut wood" and "chestnut wood" in High German. In 1807, the village bore its current name, Châtenois. In 1871, it was Germanized as Kestenholz before reverting to its French name after the Second World War.

    Before the town's founding, the Romans planted a chestnut forest there. Châtenois has a beautiful old town; the main tourist street is located in Rue du Maréchal Foch.
