Delectable Cuisine and Chic Hotels in Alsace

Each season Alsace reveals a new face. And while winter reminds us of Germany's proximity and taste for tradition, spring is a special time to explore the region. Strasbourg and Colmar are both appealing cities. The canals, the medieval quarter of Petite France, and the cathedral all contribute to Strasbourg's charm. The alleyways, half-timbered houses, and Renaissance facades rank second among France's most Instagrammable cities. In terms of nature, the region boasts many gifts as well. From the ridges and forests of the Vosges to the north, to the southern hills and the Kochersberg countryside, the diversity of landscapes is a real feast for the eyes. Alsace is also a treat for the taste buds, boasting Michelin-starred restaurants and classified vineyards scattered throughout the region.
