What a beautiful and great destination! I've also not visited it before but it's definitely on my radar. How much time would you recommend for a first time visit?

Re: Strasbourg & Route Du Vin
DrFumblefinger— A few days could be enough in Strasbourg itself, but if you want to tour the vineyards, I'd stay a week in the area. You could stay two nights in Strasbourg and then a night or two in Riquewihr and beyond. And I'd suggest renting a car to go at your own pace. For my next trip, I will plan at least full week in the region because I want to stop at the vineyards and visit more of the museums. And don't forget Chateau Haut Koenigsburg.

George G shares a couple of great shots from Colmar, France. George and his wife loved escaping from the army base in Germany and heading to Alsace.

Re: August 17, 2016: Colmar, France
The Alsace region is a very beautiful area. We lived in Lahr in the late 80s and would go over there fairly regular. We loved going to Strasbourg for dinner and a movie at the only English language theatre in the area at the time. The country side was so lovely to just spend a day traveling around, exploring down all the secondary roads. Thanks for the memories.

Re: Flowers in Alsace, France
Our first visit to Colmar and Strasbourg late last September, dream destinations, would love to return. Also enjoyed a day tour of the villages of the wine trail out side of Colmar.
