My love affair with Alsace began long before I made it my home.
There is something undeniably magical about this region—a fascinating blend of French sophistication and German heartiness that you won’t find anywhere else.
Since moving to Strasbourg in 2019, I’ve spent countless hours wandering through villages, and not just the popular ones, hiking through the Vosges mountains, and savoring crisp glasses of Pint Gris (I don’t like Reisling) in centuries-old vineyards.
Every week I venture out to discover something I haven’t seen or been to, whether it’s a museum, village, or restaurant.
I’ve explored so much of this region, and I am on a mission to show it to you in the best way I know – through articles and photos. This guide is a labor of love, curated to help you discover the soul of Alsace.
Welcome to my corner of France!
