Getting there
Tram line B of the Strasbourg network serves Bischheim through several stops, with direct connections to Place Broglie and the central station in about twenty minutes. CTS buses 4, 6, 71 and 72 complete the local network and link Schiltigheim and Hœnheim. Bischheim railway station, on the Strasbourg-Wissembourg line, is a few minutes away. By car, the A4 and A35 motorways are immediately nearby.
The neighbourhood
Bischheim has preserved an urban heritage marked by the long-standing presence of a significant Alsatian Jewish community, with its synagogue and mikveh, and by the neighbourhood of the railway workshops. The town centre combines small shops, markets and brasseries. Halal butchers and oriental grocers are accessible in the centre and in the adjoining districts of Schiltigheim. Parc du Marais and the banks of the Ill offer green spaces enjoyed by families.
Practical advice for a visit
The hall is suited to neighbourhood life. Friday noon attendance fills the venue, a first visit runs more smoothly on another day. Shoes come off at the entrance, women cover their hair, clothes should cover shoulders and legs. A separate area is provided for women. Quiet is expected from the door.
