Alsace is the easternmost
region of France, situated at the border of Germany.

, so Alsace people speak a unique dialect close to German
and french (but you can speak french in Alsace, everybody
will understand you). Also, Alsace is like a small part of
Germany in France.
Alsace is renowned for :
Alsace architecture
: alsace houses were made of clay and straw, and they
often have wooden decorated balconies
Alsace gastronomy
: sauerkraut ("la choucroute"), delicious
fruity Alsace white wines (Riesling, Gewurtraminer...),
the tasty Munster cheese...
Alsace landscapes

route of Alsace ("La route des vins d'Alsace"),
passing through beautiful small towns and monuments
(ruins, churches...) and wonderful landscapes (vineyards,
forests...) on approximatively 150 kilometers
