Heritage tourism in Alsace, part I

Alsace is a famous region of Eastern France, having been a buffer between France and Germany for several centuries. As such, the region has a lot to offer about historical tourism. Interested in medieval architecture? Alsace abounds castles and old towns. Interested in World War One? Like during the previous war of 1870, France and Germany fought for almost every square kilometer of the land. Interested in the Second World War? It was the theater of bitter fighting between the Allies and Nazi Germany. But Alsace is also famous for its wine and vineyards, for its urban architecture, its vernacular languages, its cultural identity(ies) and its storks. In May 2017,…

An October day beside the river

The wonderful thing about town of Chalon sur Saone (or Saône if you like accents), is that you are almost in the south of France, but not quite. Lyon typically marks the boundary between the north and Latin southerners. However when you are heading towards the Mediterranean and  arrive in Chalon, the adrenaline begins to build, you're almost there, a few more miles to go... The majestic river Saône flows towards the Rhone The town is divded by the river Saône, which flows from the north to the south. The river is still used for cargo barges and also vacation cruises. You can head upstream to the Rhone or southwards to eventually find the river Rhone…

Photos of Aigues Mortes

The ancient fortified town of Aigues Mortes, is a lively and worthwhile destination in the south of France, located on the coast in the department of the Hérault and the Languedoc-Roussillon region and the Petit Camargue. A once important port for the crusades, the massive walls with 6 towers and 10 doors, surround the town protecting the citizens from the sea and invasions. From afar you can see the Tower of Constance which is the tallest building within the walls.   Click to view the photos and  read more about Aigues Mortes (more…)

Magical wine tour in Burgundy

[caption id="attachment_403" align="alignleft" width="150"] Burgundy vine yards[/caption] The wines of Burgundy are very well known and appreciated throughout the world. The next time you are in the Beaune, Nuits Saint Georges or Dijon, take the opportunity to discover all secrets which are in a real bottle of wine. I would recommend the talent and enthusiasm of Mr Max Renau. He offers a unique insight and voyage through the Côte d'Or vineyards, sharing everything he knows with you. Max took us on a tour at the beginning of June this year. Meeting us at our hotel in Dijon, with a warm greeting we climbed aboard the mini-bus and Max took us…

It was the theater of bitter fighting between the Allies and Nazi Germany.

An October day beside the river

The wonderful thing about town of Chalon sur Saone (or Saône if you like accents), is that you are almost in the south of France, but not quite. Lyon typically marks the boundary between the north and Latin southerners. However when you are heading towards the Mediterranean and  arrive in Chalon, the adrenaline begins to build, you're almost there, a few more miles to go... The majestic river Saône flows towards the Rhone The town is divded by the river Saône, which flows from the north to the south. The river is still used for cargo barges and also vacation cruises. You can head upstream to the Rhone or southwards to eventually find the river Rhone…

Photos of Aigues Mortes

The ancient fortified town of Aigues Mortes, is a lively and worthwhile destination in the south of France, located on the coast in the department of the Hérault and the Languedoc-Roussillon region and the Petit Camargue.

Magical wine tour in Burgundy

[caption id="attachment_403" align="alignleft" width="150"] Burgundy vine yards[/caption] The wines of Burgundy are very well known and appreciated throughout the world. The next time you are in the Beaune, Nuits Saint Georges or Dijon, take the opportunity to discover all secrets which are in a real bottle of wine. I would recommend the talent and enthusiasm of Mr Max Renau. He offers a unique insight and voyage through the Côte d'Or vineyards, sharing everything he knows with you. Max took us on a tour at the beginning of June this year. Meeting us at our hotel in Dijon, with a warm greeting we climbed aboard the mini-bus and Max took us…
