Eastern France regroups
Alsace and Franche Comte.
Alsace is like a narrow ribbon from the Swiss border in the South,
up to the German border in the North of Strasbourg.
Sheltered by the Vosges mountains, this province enjoys a
semi-continental climate with hot summers and long warm autumns,
ideal for market gardeners,
wine growers and visitors alike.
Alsace is a beautiful place, offering medieval towns and villages
with half-timbered houses alight in summer with cascading
geraniums and petunias.
The people of Alsace are a sort of
crossroad where seriousness and gaiety meet, an engaging
combination of Germanic thoroughness and reliability with French
"joie de vivre".
Franche Comte offers exceptional
natural beauty combined with
opportunities for active outdoors sports. This is a region to
explore in the wild.
