Hotels in Alsace, France
Alsace, in northeastern France near the German border, has a continental climate with cold winters (around 30°F/-1°C) and warm summers (75°F/24°C). It's famous for its white wines like Riesling, so you can drive the 170 km Alsace Wine Route through villages like Riquewihr and Eguisheim, or in December visit Strasbourg's Christmas markets at the 15th-century cathedral. In summer, hike the Vosges Mountains for views of the Rhine plain, while winter brings skiing at La Bresse-Hohneck.
