The last weekend of March we made the most of our last few days with the Mercedes and headed North into the Alsace region in France. Just over an hour from Zurich and an easy "day trip"!
Alsace is best known for it's aromatic white wines, and there are some superb examples, but as always we were on the look out for the local pinot's, which didn't disappoint!.
The old medieval villages have stood up well to the ravages of time.
Give me some secaturs!!
The area is a breeding ground for white storks, a large migratory bird which makes it's nests in the most amazing and unlikely locations!
We had a great day, if not a short introduction to the delights of the area and headed home loaded up with French bread, foie gras, roulades and some complimentary local vins for a delicious supper!!
