Hunting is governed by specific regulations related to local law in Alsace. Hunting lots are sold at auction for 9 years (municipal) or 12 years (state). Only the seller and their guests are allowed to hunt here based on the Administration's hunting plan.
One exception: hunting is permitted in Haslach near the fantastic William II hunting pavilion where everyone can try their hand at hunting in line with the terms detailed below.
To hunt in Alsace
French hunters must have a valid hunting permit for the area and insurance. Foreign hunters must have an individual hunting permit.
