Traveling through France at this marvelous region close to the German border is a feast for all senses.
Charming little old towns, amiable people, cozy hotels, delicious restaurants, famous vineyards and all this is very peaceful and not overrun.
In the north, very close to Hagenau started the Pottery Route, with picturesque pottery villages.
