Alsace: La Route des Vins
15-17 August 2008
On the long weekend of the 15th of August, I cycled the Wine Route, in Alsace, with Fabrice.
We started in Colmar and after leaving the vineyards, we continued to Wissembourg, passing several lovely villages.
It is called the Wine Route for a reason...
We pass one flowery village after the other..
.. and profit from the local Boulangeries
