Alsace

Alsace · France · Strasbourg

Half-timbered villages that look like they were built for a storybook, a wine route through vineyards below the Vosges hills, and Christmas markets that basically invented the genre.

The best time to visit Alsace is May, or Dec for the markets, when typical daytime highs reach about 16°C (60°F). Local time there is 12:34 (UTC+2).
