| | Welcome in Haguenau, Alsace, France (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Haguenau is a Sleeping Beauty dozing at the edge of an immense 14,000 hectare forest which fans out all around the city. |
 | | This great patch of green, a sanctuary for calm and beauty in the northern plain, was also the host of many a historical event. |
 | | Several ancient houses remind us of Calvin and Ronsard who stayed in Haguenau in 1540 during a colloquium between Protestants and Catholics, which was attended by the likes of Jean Sturm and Martin Bucer. |
