Alsace & Champagne travel

For epicurean travellers, savouring the drinks as much as the scenery along the winding Alsace Wine Route, dotted with medieval villages, hillsides, and Champagne houses and cellars listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. For lovers of historic buildings, feel the power of Reims Cathedral, the city where French kings were crowned, stroll through the narrow streets of Strasbourg’s island - also UNESCO-listed, of Colmar, known as “Little Venice”, the industrious Mulhouse, and wander with your head in the clouds through the centre of Troyes. For nature lovers: the lakes, mountain passes, and the Vosges Valleys, the landscapes of trees and water in the Orient Forest Regional Natural Park, and the magical spectacle of migrating common cranes around Lac du Der. For those who can't decide, take a few more days. Discover all of our travel inspiration for Alsace and Champagne. Read more
