Be enchanted by these two beautiful regions of France, with their delightful country sites, rich histories, wonderful architecture, thriving economy, great vineyards, and incredible food….
Start your journey in Alsace and explore its varied historic and cultural background, its landscape shaped by the Rhine and the Vosges mountains, and its beautiful medieval villages, such as Kaysersberg, Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé and Selestat. All are set in one of the most charming vineyard regions of France. Discover its
prosperous economy anchored in traditional activities (agriculture, wine, and textiles) as well as highly sophisticated industries that find their expression in beautiful towns like Strasbourg, the capital of Europe, Colmar, and Mulhouse. All are famous for their intellectual, artistic, scientific, and industrial achievements. You will also be delighted by its cuisine! In Alsace there are many of the top restaurants of France. Enjoy meals that celebrate honest hearty food, and others that showcase very refined light creative cuisine.
Continue your discovery tour in Burgundy, with its rolling hills, renowned vineyards, and Romanesque churches. Enjoy Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, once home of the powerful Dukes of Burgundy, where today we find the stunning Fine Arts Museum of Dijon. Along with enchanting landscapes, you will discover two great monuments listed WHS by UNESCO: the Abbey of Fontenay (12th C.), the oldest
Cistercian abbey in France, and the Basilica of Vezelay (12th C.), the largest Romanesque church in the country. Visit vineyards and wine cellars, a cheese dairy, and a farm where the famous “Bresse” chicken are raised. Experience the beauty of Beaune, renowned for its wine auctions and its amazing Renaissance buildings, among them the Hospices de Beaune (15th C.).
