East France covers a huge area, including Alsace, Lorraine, Franche Comté and the Jura.  There is a lot of beauty in the region with delightful mountains, valleys and attractive historical towns.  If you want to get away from it all for your holiday or if you enjoy walking in attractive scenery then this could be the region for you.

We’ve had a very pleasant holiday here although we spent most of our time in the huge campsite, in the pool, boating on one of the three lakes or taking the bikes for a ride to the local village.  When we did venture further afield we found some pleasant places but they tended to be few and far between.  One of the delights of the area was the total absence of traffic, even in the peak season.

Information on this region includes the best castles, viewpoints, tourist attractions and towns.  If there is anything we should add, please send your feedback.

Wine and Spirits in the region

The Alsace region in the extreme east of France is world renowned for its white wines.  Following the Route Des Vins you can combine the delights of beautiful mountain scenery and charming villages all interspersed with Alsatian vineyards.  Inevitably there are many opportunities for dégustation along the way.  For more information on Alsace wines visit our wines section or the online guide on the Route Des Vins.
