Discover the magnificent historical region of Alsace, a mix of French and German culture. This is reflected in the culture of the region, which is a unique blend of the two. Strasbourg probably best typifies this blend and the surrounding countryside is home to a number of ‘Route des Vins’ which dot the area with carefully nurtured vineyards and picture-postcard villages. See half-timbered medieval buildings, canals and pretty squares as we explore this stunning corner of France.

You will stay for four nights at the 3-star Des Vosges in Klingenthal. The hotel is situated only a few miles from the pretty Alsace town of Obernai, and stands in pleasant parkland, ideal for an evening stroll.

Overnight stays in northern France will be in city-style hotels.
