The originality of Alsace lies in its diversity with a vast panorama of history, cuisine, culture and museums. You can wind your way between the Rhine River and the mountains, through the plains and vineyards along country roads scattered with castles and ancient archaeological ruins.

Strasbourg is the seat of many European Community institutions including the European Parliament. A rich architectural heritage, tradition of hospitality, and rich museums make Strasbourg a city to discover.

As you visit the Jura Mountains via its picturesque roads, you will cross through the heart of a wild, fascinating and ever changing scenery. More than half of the region is covered with forests and innumerable rivers and waterfalls.

The beautiful capital of Franche-Comté, Besançon, is a 17th-century city with a long tradition of clock making.

Don’t forget to try the Comté cheese, hand made in "fruiteries", with some Jura wine, the "vin jaune". CONTACT
