Grand Est
About the Grand Est region
The Alsace Wine Route, one of the most beautiful in France, winds between hillsides and flower-filled villages of unrivalled charm: Colmar and its Little Venice, Riquewihr, Eguisheim or Kaysersberg seem straight out of a fairy tale. In winter, the Christmas markets, among the most magical in Europe, light up the region and attract visitors from all over the world.
In terms of nature, the Vosges massif offers hiking, lakes, rounded summits and ski resorts, while the Place Stanislas in Nancy, an 18th-century jewel listed by UNESCO, reflects a royal refinement. Metz and its cathedral, the Verdun memorial and the many historic sites tell a strong European memory.
The gastronomy matches the heritage: sauerkraut, flammekueche, bredele, Alsace wines, champagne and craft beers make up an exceptional terroir. Between wine tourism, dazzling heritage, nature and living traditions, the Grand Est promises varied and gourmet stays in every season, from spring blossom to the magic of the year-end festivities.
To discover the Grand Est, gladly follow the Alsace Wine Route, complemented by the discovery of Strasbourg, the Champagne hillsides and the Vosges massif.
