The Haeberlin family has run this Alsatian riverside restaurant since 1952, and Auberge de l'Ill has held three Michelin stars continuously since 1967, one of the longest such streaks in France. Paul and Jean-Pierre Haeberlin passed the stoves to today's chef Marc Haeberlin, whose facade of frescoes and tobacco-drying-house entrance still evoke the region's Alsatian farmhouses.
