Altenheim (French pronunciation: [altənaim] ( listen)) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in the Grand Est region of north-eastern France. It should not be confused with the German village of the same name, part of the municipality Neuried in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Geography

Altenheim is located some 10 km east by south-east of Saverne and 30 km north-west of Strasbourg. It can be accessed from five directions: from Furchhausen in the west by road D230, from Dettwiller in the north by road D112, from Littenheim in the east by road D151, from Saessolsheim in the south-east by road D230, and from Wolschheim in the south by road D112. All these roads intersect in the village. The commune consists entirely of farmland other than the village. The only waterway in the commune is the Drusenbach crossing the south-western corner and two small tributaries of this stream in the north of the commune.[2]
