Situated on the border with Germany, the beautiful French city of Strasbourg nestles on the River Rhine and is a wonderful destination to explore. As the capital of the Alsatian Region, the city has a unique culture and is surrounded by a landscape of deep forests and vineyards, as well as picturesque villages of half timbered houses with coloured walls and steep roofs. 

Our holiday to the area has a relaxed itinerary with overnight stops each way in a quality 4* hotel whilst the central position of the hotel allows for easy access to the historic city centre. There is much to discover - relax and stroll through the cobbled streets and explore the narrow passageways with overhanging balconies with cascades of brightly coloured hanging flowers. Strasbourg is also renowned as the centre for Alsatian gastronomy which marries French and German cuisine in to unique local specialities. 


This holiday will suit those who have a love for France and are happy to explore independently. A lovely holiday.
