With its rich and eventful history, Alsace has always been a major communication route between the north and south, between the east and the west of Europe.
Alsace is situated alongside the river Rhine on the border with Switzerland and Germany.
Thanks to its ideal location in the very heart of Europe, Strasbourg was the obvious choice to become the European capital. The fact that the headquarters of the European Parliament, of the Council of Europe and of the European Court of Human Rights are all based here clearly demonstrates the city's attraction and its European credentials.
This is also a student town, simply perfect for strolling while planning your work, not forgetting those wonderful evenings in the local cafes and restaurants or the impressive range of surprising and festive activities. Why not experience Strasbourg at its best by taking part in a rally around the town?
The Alsace region also has a large number of museums, particularly in Mulhouse, Europe's self-proclaimed capital when it comes to technical museums. This is the French city which attracts the most museum visitors after Paris. As an example, visitors to Mulhouse can discover the Cité du Train (Train City) in addition to the world's largest collection of cars at the Motor Museum, with the star of the show being its Bugatti Royale. Recently created in the region, the Bioscope is the leading interactive leisure park focusing on the environment and on sustainable development. This is situated just a few kilometres from the Ecomusée (the Living Museum), France's largest open-air museum, where you can discover the very best of Alsatian heritage and of that unique Alsatian "art of living". The Science Centre Le Vaisseau is located in the northern part of the Alsace. It opened in February 2005 and is the little sister of the Cité des Sciences in Paris. The Vaisseau is the perfect location for a fantastic visit with the family, school or kindergarten trips as well as company events… true to the motto: learning while having fun!
It would certainly be no exaggeration to say that Alsace is an excellent region in which to live. Discover the delicious regional cuisine in Colmar, the leading town for Alsatian wines. Pay a visit to one of the many "winstubs" to be found all over the region, which propose a mouth-watering way to discover traditional Alsatian cooking, offering the tastes of yesteryear in an attractive, warm and wood-panelled setting. Thanks to the skills of the local farmers, producers and craftsmen, Alsatian products are guaranteed to delight your taste buds. Come along and appreciate their quality, while discovering for example the traditional gingerbread making techniques used at the Maison Fortwenger in central Alsace.
The Alsace region also offers an extremely rich historical and cultural heritage. This is the region of Europe boasting the largest concentration of castles. High up in the Vosges foothills, the castles of Haut Koenigsbourg and Fleckenstein bear witness to the region's turbulent history.
In addition to all of this, the region additionally offers an outstanding natural environment. The huge variety of landscapes between the Rhine, the vineyards and the mountains makes this an ideal location for all kinds of sporting and leisure activities whether on the ground, on the water or in the air. To discover Alsace's magnificent landscapes, why not sign up for a mountain biking session in the company of professionals. For those seeking adventure or excitement, Alsace invites you to climb its majestic trees in complete safety, at one of its various adventure parks, or to sample the thrills of its white water sports such as canoeing, kayaking or rafting.
See you soon in Alsace!
