Wind your way through the picturesque villages and
vineyards of the great wine making region of Alsace
One of the most picturesque regions of France, Alsace is also one of the
most cycle‑friendly. Designated bike paths and quiet country backroads
provide a perfect passage along the Rhine, passing Hansel and Gretel
style houses overlooked by imposing medieval castles. There is plenty
of opportunity to explore the cobblestone streets of quaint villages and marvel at the impressive Romanesque
and Baroque churches. Gastronomic delights are plentiful in this corner of France and you can sample some
of the Alsace's finest produce as you travel through undulating farmland, orchards and vineyards. The unusual
and stunning 'balloons' or round topped hills provide beautiful vistas of the Alsatian region. This itinerary soaks
up the relaxed and jovial atmosphere of what can only be described as a wine‑lovers' wonderland.
