Bus parking and traffic (coach operators)

Ribeauvillé Christmas Market

During the Christmas market, buses are welcomed as follows: the vehicle is picked up at the Général de Gaulle car park, where a security guard will board the bus to guide the driver to the passenger drop-off point at the top of the town. The bus is then invited to park outside the town (Z.A. du Muehlbach - free parking). Passengers are collected from the Général de Gaulle car park.

Please note that the town of Ribeauvillé has made special arrangements for groups attending its Christmas Market: only buses staying for at least half a day at the Ribeauvillé Medieval Christmas Market are allowed to let their passengers off to go to the Christmas Market. Groups wishing to stay for less time will not be allowed to stop.
