Alsace to feast your eyes on… and your stomach!
In Alsace, the driving is great—and the food is even better! With its stunning roads, exceptional wines, and hearty dishes, discover this region in eastern France and all it has to offer. Colmar, for example, home to the Petite Venise neighborhood, is the wine capital of Alsace.
Drive through Obernai and admire its remarkable rooftops along France’s oldest wine route. In Strasbourg, head to the Grande Île and the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral. With delicious dishes like baeckeofe and flammekueche, you’ll be able to recover from the day’s drive at cozy, lavishly set tables!
