Event Description
The region offers a cultural blend of modern French institutions and traditional Germanic cuisine and architecture. The region is famous in particular for its picturesque villages and its large number of churches and castles, which have miraculously survived five Centuries of wars between France and Germany.
It is famous for wine-making, with 170km of vineyards spanning the Route des Vins d’Alsace and the stunning forests and lakes of the Vosges Mountains are a sight to behold.
Strasbourg is the region’s capital and the seat of several prestigious European institutions. Its historic centre is a classified UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Alsace’s semi-continental climate typically brings cold and dry winters and hot summers to the region ... perfect for wines!
