This is a place where tourists longing for relaxing holidays find tranquility. But also people interested in culture and sightseeing will find many attractions in the town of Saarlouis as well as the region bearing the same name.

Saarlouis once was a place dominated by war and a huge citadel, which underwent renovation for some years so that most parts of it can now be visited in the recreational area of Saar-Altarm and in parts of the town.

Saarlouis has many events to offer, be it rural market days like the Ostermarkt and the Krammarkt, be it also concerts and guided tours through the city. But the biggest attraction for many German visitors is the “French Flair”. The unique combination of German “Gemutlichkeit” and French “Savoir vivre” in Saarlouis will charm you as well!
