Alsace, between vineyards and storybook villages
From Strasbourg to Colmar, along the Wine Route, Alsace blends French and Germanic influences: half-timbered houses, grands crus, hearty gastronomy and, in winter, the most famous Christmas markets in France.
From the first idea to the final evening, we compose your journey by hand, and stay reachable at every moment.
Along the Wine Route
Strasbourg
The Gothic cathedral and its astronomical clock, the canals of La Petite France and the European Parliament, a city both historic and cosmopolitan.
Colmar
Flower-lined canals and pastel half-timbered houses earn its old town the nickname “Little Venice”, the most picturesque town in Alsace.
Riquewihr
A medieval walled village surrounded by grand cru vineyards, among the most beautiful villages in France.
Route des Vins
170 km from Marlenheim to Thann, lined with wine villages, family estates and tasting cellars.
Haut-Koenigsbourg
A restored medieval fortress perched at 800 m, with sweeping views over the Alsace plain and the Black Forest.
Eguisheim
The birthplace of Alsace wine, built in concentric circles around its castle, flowered, intimate and timeless.
The Christmas markets
In December, Alsace becomes a fairy tale. Strasbourg, the oldest Christmas market in France, Colmar and the wine villages light up with wooden chalets, mulled wine and crafts. We arrange after-hours strolls, away from the daytime crowds, and a stay in the heart of the illuminations.
The Alsatian art of living
At the crossroads of France and Germany
Few regions carry such a singular identity. For centuries, Alsace passed between France and Germany, and from this history it has kept a unique blend: half-timbered houses and flower-filled balconies, a Germanic dialect and French art de vivre, Christmas traditions and Michelin gastronomy.
It is this dual culture that gives Alsace its fairy-tale character, and makes every village, every winstub and every market feel like nowhere else in France.
Each season, a different Alsace
