English
In late August, my family and I spent a few days in Alsace.
We visited Strasbourg, Colmar and the pretty village of Riquewihr.
Strasbourg is the capital of the Alsace region. It is a large town on the Rhine, which separates from Germany.
We visited the center of the city and the Gothic cathedral. Then we went in the picturesque district of Petite France.
Colmar, the “capital of Alsace wine”, is located about thirty minutes by train to the south of Strasbourg. Its architectural heritage is beautiful. Strolling the streets of the city is a real pleasure.
Riquewihr, twenty minutes from Colmar northwest, is one of the most beautiful villages in France. The buildings are beautiful and transports you back in time to the sixteenth century!
As the village is in the heart of a vineyard, one can find many wine producers. Tastings offers are many and will delight wine lovers. My wife and I were able to taste an excellent Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg and a very good Pinot gris.
Alsatian cuisine is rich and delicious. Among its various specialties, we could eat a tarte flambée and sauerkraut.
