France - Alsace & Lorraine
Alsace & Lorraine are the land of living fairy tales, where vineyards fade into watercolour distance, hilltop castles send spirits soaring higher than the region’s emblematic storks and half-timbered villages garlanded with geraniums look fresh-minted for a Disney film set.
- saunter around canal-laced Petite Venise as Colmar starts to twinkle
- get a gargoyle’s-eye view of Strasbourg from the platform of Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame
- survey the cross-studded lawn in the early-morning silence at the Verdun Battlefields
Coverage includes: Best Places to Sleep, Alsace, Strasbourg, Route des Vins d’Alsace, Colmar, Massif des Vosges, Mulhouse, Lorraine, Nancy, Baccarat, Metz, Verdun, Verdun Battlefields, American Memorials, When to Go.
