Atmospheric, authentic and colourful.
Perfect for...discovering a hidden gem which
even the French don’t know about.
A unique part of France, the villages tumble over and into each other. Each
village more colourful than the last, and every building, however humble, bedecked
with flowers. The wine route follows a narrow corridor at the base of the hills,
in and out of valleys, in and out of vineyards, between the Vosges and the
Rhine plain. Old farm tracks running between the vines have been transformed
into cycle routes. Cyclists can head into the hills to visit castles, forests
and ancient battle grounds, or follow the plain and gorge on a surfeit of pretty
villages and Michelin starred restaurants.
Our holidays start at *** Auberge Ramstein with its own pool and vineyard in the flower filled village of Scherwiller.
All routes between the hotels are Grade 1 cycling along the valley. But you have
the option of excursions, Grade 2 and 3, into the hills where you can visit castles
and enjoy the views.
The perfect addition to your holiday: Why
not pamper yourself, at the beginning or
end of your holiday with a Sumptuous Chateau Escape
in the **** star Hostellerie
de l'Abbaye la Pommeraie in Selestat, with Michelin chef, at the beginning
or end of your holiday.
