Just two hours from Paris by TGV, Alsace is a region bordering Germany and Switzerland. The Rhine Plain stretches from north to south for over 200 km.
Bordered to the east by the Rhine and to the west by the Vosges Mountains. These varied landscapes offer opportunities for excursions such as boat trips on the backwaters of the old Rhine, bike rides, and wonderfully documented hiking trails maintained by volunteers from the Vosges Club association.

You can crisscross Alsace from north to south, following the seasons along various routes: the Crest Route, the Alsace Wine Route, the Romanesque Route, the Sauerkraut Route, the Tobacco, Oil, and Hops Route, as well as circuits that extend beyond the region, such as the cycle routes, EuroVelo 5, 6, and 15, and long-distance hiking trails, such as the GR5 linking the tip of Denmark to Corsica.

Throughout your travels, you will discover the rich rural heritage, wonderfully preserved and maintained by the Alsatians, proud of their region and its character.

The Ungersheim Ecomuseum, south of Colmar, showcases traditions, folklore, and crafts of yesteryear, as well as aspects of its industrial heritage. The Vosges foothills boast more than 400 fortified castles, including Haut-Koenigsbourg, which was rebuilt in a massive project in 1908. Another Alsatian landmark is the Mont Sainte-Odile massif, at the foot of which nestles the small town of Barr. The monastery of Sainte-Odile is still a place of retreat and welcomes pilgrims. Mont Sainte-Odile and Barr are located on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
Strasbourg is the main city, the capital of Christmas. It has preserved neighborhoods that bear witness to the architecture of the Middle Ages to the present day. This is where you can discover the tanners' district, known as "Little France," with its half-timbered houses and narrow streets, providing a setting for the Cathedral, a true masterpiece of Gothic art, and the more recent neighborhoods where several European institutions are headquartered, such as the European Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights.

Mulhouse, a city with a vibrant industrial heritage, offers museums such as the Automobile Museum, a unique collection of vintage cars, the Railway Museum, the Fabric and Wallpaper Museum, and Electropolis.
In between, Colmar is not to be outdone with its picturesque "Little Venice" neighborhoods and the birthplace of Auguste Bartholdi.
Let's not forget Alsatian gastronomy with sauerkraut, but also baeckeoffe, tartes flambées, fried carp, matelottes, and more, always accompanied by a dry Riesling or a fruitier Klevener, Pinot Gris, or Gewürtztraminer wine.
