Offering a blend of the best of both cultures, Alsace, France hugs the border with Germany. In region famous for its wine and mix of flavours, the region's culinary attractions appeal on par with its breathtaking backdrop, the Vosges mountains. Enjoy a traditional holiday cottage on a hillside or a modern flat closer to one of the various town centres.
Flavours for all seasons
Fall is ideal for tasting the rainbow of flavours local to Alsace. You'll thank yourself for visiting when the wine and cabbage harvests are at their zenith. Later on, the Christmas markets see the streets decked out in tasteful decorations and sometimes, a smattering of snow.
April is time for asparagus and Alsatian Riesling. In summer, try the tarte flambée from Michelin-starred Hotel les Haras in Strasbourg. White wine is king here, and the richness of the local dishes is accented exquisitely by the slight acidity of the local wines. For a cosy meal and a sampling of the region's offerings, head to Wistub du Sommelier in the town of Bergheim.
Castles and cars
At the Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg, you can delve into nine centuries of history. This fairytale castle sits 757 metres above the Rhine. Cross the drawbridge, climb the ramparts, and enjoy the view over the Ballons des Vosges Natural Regional Park.
About an hour's drive from Strasbourg, the Cité de l'Automobile features a gleaming fleet of vintage cars and interactive exhibits. Special events include test drives in your favourite models and vintage car shows.
Cultural and outdoor excursions
The nearby Vosges mountains offer a plethora of activities, from hiking to waterfalls, skiing in winter (the highest peak is the Grand Ballon), and visiting picturesque villages.
For a bit of history, visit Strasbourg Cathedral one of the largest sandstone buildings in the world, consecrated 1,000 years ago. Its Gothic architecture and luminous rose windows haven't lost their magic in that time.
