| At La Maison du Pain d'épices in Gertwiller |
I admit it, I know nothing about France. I've been to Dunquerque for Carnival and twice to Paris. The first time I hated it, the second I loved it. Clearly, I have been having mixed feelings about the whole country and its people, so proud, so patriotic, so snob, so French (?!)...
But then we went to Alsace for a weekend...and loved it! All of a sudden France was a beautiful place and the French were friendly, smiling and fun. I swear I'm not saying this under the effect of several glasses of Alsacian wine, though wines, tartes flambées, and a gentle green landscape might all have contributed to make Alsace a very appealing place to us.
Strasbourg and Colmar are generally the most known places in the region, though the Route du Vin between the two cities, passing through small towns and villages is just as pretty and enjoyable. After this trip we certainly want to explore more of France and will probably keep using our Belgian accent just for the fun of it...Allez, hein!
