RIBEAUVILLE, One OF The Most Beautiful Village In France, 4K, Walking Tour
Ribeauvillé is the French name of Ràppschwihr (German: Rappoltsweiler), a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.
The town is located around 16 kilometres (10 mi) north of Colmar and 75 kilometres (47 mi) south of Strasbourg. It lies at the base of the Vosges Mountains.
Ribeauvillé known in the 8th century as Rathaldovilare, the town passed from the Bishops of Basel to the Lords of Rappoltstein, who were among the most famous nobles in Alsace. The Lord of Rappoltstein was the King or Protector of the wandering minstrels of the land, who purchased his protection by paying him a tax.
When the family became extinct in 1673, this office of “King of the Pipers” (Pfeiferkönig) passed to the Counts Palatine of Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld. The minstrels had a pilgrimage chapel near Rappoltsweiler, dedicated to their patron saint, Maria von Dusenbach, and here they held an annual feast on 8 September. Ribeauvillé was known as Rappoltsweiler until 1918.
