A land of unexpected and fascinating contrasts, Alsace Lorraine offers something for everyone, from peaceful golden hop plains to deep forest and enchanting castles. Proudly French yet with Germanic influences, this is a great region to sample beer and wine. Sip some Riesling wine with some of the traditional sweet plum tart. Continue your journey on to discover picturesque marshes dotted with local fishermen's half-timbered cottages.

With a rich blend of old and modern buildings, be sure to make Strasbourg a port of call. With its cosmopolitan centre and mountain atmosphere, this city, known as Little France, is viewed from a unique perspective from the water. The idyllic waterway will actually take you straight through the heart of the city.
