I don't think the English version of Wikipedia about Alsace
reflects anything like French official ideology
whatever that might mean.
And I tend to think It means nothing clear
as for the most part the dominant ideology in France is the far-left,
As a matter of fact, this article seems fairly informative and neutral.

I have never heard about that,
and it clearly conflicts with the wikipedia article.
About Alsace and Huguenot
in both French and English.
None mentions any Huguenot in Alsace,
and the article about Alsace actually mentions Anabaptists fleeing from
Swiss into Alsace !!
I definitely do not buy your story.
