Region: Great East

The Grand Est is an extensive region in northeastern France, bordering Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Belgium. Its identity is deeply marked by a turbulent history and a double culture, especially in Alsace and Lorraine. It is a land of incredible diversity, ranging from the sunny vineyards of the Alsace Wine Route to the dense forests of the Ardennes, passing through the plains of Champagne and the Vosges mountains. The region is home to cities of art and history such as Strasbourg, with its medieval charm, Nancy and its Art Nouveau heritage, and Reims, the city of the coronations of the kings of France. It is a destination that combines idyllic landscapes, strong gastronomy, world-famous wines and a palpable historical memory at every step.

Tips for Adventure

Aviso de Viaje

During the Christmas markets, especially on weekends, cities like Strasbourg and Colmar can be extremely busy; It is essential to reserve accommodation many months in advance. Many of the mountain roads in the Vosges, such as the Route des Crests, may be closed in winter due to snow. To visit the great champagne cellars, it is almost always necessary to book the visit in advance.
