Can I use the eSIM if I cross into Germany for the day?

Only if your plan includes Germany or wider EU roaming - a France-only eSIM may not. The Rhine border is minutes from Strasbourg, so check your plan's coverage before hopping across to Kehl or the Black Forest.

Is there signal along the wine route?

In the villages, yes - Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé and Eguisheim all have good 4G. Coverage weakens on the vineyard tracks and as you climb toward the Vosges, so download offline maps for the drives between tastings.

Good to know in Alsace

The Route des Vins is best explored village to village, but signposting is patchy - keep your eSIM active to navigate the winding vineyard roads between Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé and Eguisheim and to check which cellars are open for tasting.

Best time to visit Alsace

Late November to December for the famous Christmas markets, or September to October for the grape harvest and golden vineyards along the wine route.

Two simple ways to buy

Alsace eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Alsace eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Alsace — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Alsace eSIM: your local data guide.

Alsace blends French and German character - Strasbourg's Grande Île and cathedral, the storybook canals of Colmar's Petite Venise, the hilltop castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg and the wine villages of Riquewihr and Eguisheim along the Route des Vins. An Alsace eSIM keeps vineyard-trail maps, Christmas-market schedules and train times between towns live all trip.

One eSIM for Alsace and all of France. It's the national France eSIM — from $2.59/day with unlimited data, working the same in Alsace as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Strasbourg (SXB)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.
