Step back in time with this image of Porte de la France (Porte d'entree Ouest) in the enchanting town of Turckheim, located in the Alsace region of France. Dating back to the late 1910s, this photograph showcases the grandeur of this historic gateway as it proudly welcomes visitors to the western entrance of Turckheim. Nestled in the heart of the renowned Gewurztraminer wine region, this picturesque town is a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The Porte de la France, with its intricate stonework and impressive size, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this region. As your eyes wander over the photograph, take notice of the quaint houses and cobblestone streets that surround the gateway. The charming architecture, reminiscent of a bygone era, adds to the allure of this idyllic scene. But what makes this image truly unique is the presence of a stork nest or platform atop the gate.

The sight of these majestic birds soaring overhead or perched atop ancient structures like the Porte de la France is a reminder of the enduring connection between nature and the passage of time. This photograph is an invitation to explore the beauty and history of Turckheim and the Alsace region, and to savor the rich flavors of its famous Gewurztraminer wines.
