Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Soppe-le-Bas offers several different ways to plan your stay: local history, a walk with an approximate duration, a market with dates to check, and weather-dependent ULM flights. You can first decide whether you would rather plan your day around culture, a walking itinerary or a specific event date.

History in the village and at Saint-Vincent

Since 2022, Soppe-le-Bas has had a historical walking tour designed for residents and passing visitors. Illustrated information boards are placed around the village. The Circuit historique de Soppe-le-Bas is a very easy 4 km walk that takes about an hour. This estimate gives you a concrete timeframe for the walk; you can schedule other visits to the village separately.

The neoclassical Saint-Vincent Church dates from 1837. The new church was completed in 1839 and houses a Rinkenbach organ. Its style, completion year and organ are specific points of interest for visitors interested in architectural and cultural history. The walking tour and the church offer different perspectives on the village: illustrated information boards around the village and a named religious building with its own historical significance.

Marché guinguette and local produce

The Marché guinguette features refreshments, light meals and a musical atmosphere. Products from local producers, artisans and creatives are also showcased and offered for tasting. So, alongside food and music, local products are also a focus. Check the event dates before travelling so you can plan your market visit around your travel dates.

The municipality’s natural setting

Soppe-le-Bas is included in the ZNIEFF Type 1 natural area “Ruisseau du Kleebach et bois de l'Eichwald à Burnhaupt-le-Haut.” The area’s name refers to the Kleebach stream and Eichwald forest in Burnhaupt-le-Haut. This designation complements the village’s local and cultural history with a connection to its natural landscape.

ULM flights and getting there

The ULM club Les Faucheurs de Marguerites offers introductory and sightseeing flights from its Breitling site in Soppe-le-Bas. Flights are weather-dependent, which you should take into account when planning this activity. You can reach the Terrain ULM Soppe-le-Bas via the Soppe-le-Bas exit on the D483; in the village, red signs reading “Bâptèmes de l’air” point the way.

For road access, Soppe-le-Bas is on the R.D. 483. An access point to the A36 motorway is less than 10 km away. For the ULM site, there is also specific signage via the D483 exit and the red signs in the village.

The activities have different planning requirements: an approximate duration is given for the walk, you should check the dates for the Marché guinguette, and the weather matters for ULM flights. These details can help you match the activities to your travel dates and available time.
