More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned vehicle onto a cobbled square and the town breathes around you: church bells, the low rush of canals, and vines stretching up the hills like rows of attentive sentries. The day begins in Strasbourg's La Petite France, where timber-framed houses lean toward the water, then moves south through the knitted quilt of Alsace vineyards to Colmar’s canals and the walled lanes of Riquewihr.
