Christmas Treasure Hunts: Discovering the Éclat de Herrlisheim
What if Christmas in Alsace were an adventure?
In 2026, Christmas treasure hunts in Alsace will be reinvented around a shared, mysterious, and magical story. 57 Alsatian villages and towns will transform their illuminated streets into life-size playgrounds, inviting adventurers to uncover the sparkles of Christmas and let the legendary flame of an Alsatian Christmas shine brightly.
Armed with their adventurer’s passport and game sheet, young and old alike search for clues and solve riddles and puzzles as they wander through illuminated alleyways, decorated squares, and festive scenes, all while immersing themselves in Alsatian traditions and folklore.
Between puzzles, you can admire the decorations, savor some mulled wine, discover the local heritage… and head home with a well-deserved treasure! Christmas treasure hunts in Alsace: the season’s must-do family adventure!
