Barr can appear to be an austere town. This may be so in the winter but during the summer it's decked out with flowers and is one of the most attractive towns to be found in Alsace, complete with winding cobblestone streets that challenge motorists and enchant pedestrians.
Barr, a wine-growing village located near Strasbourg, is nestled up in the vineyard covered hills. The inhabitants of Barr are said to be hot tempered, their heady wine only serving to fan the flames of this trait.
