Word of Mouth

Created on the initiative of the Riquewihr football club, the ‘Les Plus Beaux Villages de France’ veterans’ football tournament was symbolically launched in 1998, the year France hosted the World Cup. Designed to strengthen ties between the residents of the ‘Les Plus Beaux Villages de France’, this event has been running for over 20 years. Every year during Ascension weekend, the organising village and its football club face a huge challenge, as they have to host nearly fifteen teams and their supporters – a total of nearly 500 people!
