Alteckendorf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alteckendorf (sometimes spelled Alt Eckendorf) is a small town or hamlet located in the Alsace region of France, east of the Vosges Mountains nestled between the mountain range and Germany. It is an hour from Strasbourg and near the militarily historically famous Haguenau. The population is 300 to 500. The majority of the inhabitants can speak and or understand German and do speak French but their version of French is called Alsacian. Alsacian is a mixture of French and German specifically due to the tug-of-war between France and Germany for the area over the past thousand years.
