The Historic Night Watchman Patrol and Fortified Gates
Turckheim is one of the last remaining towns in France where the traditional Night Watchman (Veilleur de Nuit) continues his historic rounds, a tradition dating back to 1540. Dressed in period costume with a tricorn hat, lantern, and halberd, the watchman patrols the walled streets every evening from May to October at 10:00 PM, singing traditional songs in Alsatian dialect ('Hört ihr Herren und lasst euch sagen') to ensure peace and safety.
Attending the evening Night Watchman patrol is effortless when utilizing our private chauffeur service. Your driver ensures punctual evening arrival, waits nearby during the walking tour, and provides a comfortable return journey to your hotel in Strasbourg or Colmar late at night.
