In Alsace , each house has its own character : the humblest home or the wealthiest building . From the "Petite France" , famous district of Strasbourg , to the narrow lanes of the old Colmar and going through the pleasant villages of the Wine Road , the patrimony lover is amazed before these houses which constitute so many masterpieces gathered in a regional museum.

  The traditionnel Alsatian building is distinguished by a visible wood structure with half-timbered , bright-colored walls, and solid red sandstone window-frames ; the entirety covered with steep gradient roofs . These buildings add a beauty that cheers up the surrounding vineyards.

 Prompted by the passion for details , Michel Dupuy , sculptor and ceramist , re-creates for you, in miniature , these Alsatian houses .
