Strasbourg

Strasbourg

The rich architectural heritage of Strasbourg makes it an excellent tourist city. It has always been a town of passage, and has all architectural styles.

Destination Guide
Ottrott

Ottrott

Ottrott is a beautiful village in Alsace. The Naiads' aquarium park is a unique attraction; it features more than 250 species of trees, shrubs and other greenery, as well as underwater scenes in that resemble Asia, Africa, America and Europe. The mysterious Pagan Wall wraps around Mont-Sainte-Odile. The wall dates back to the 1st century B.C. and stands between 9-12 feet high. There are many walking tours available that feature this historic marvel.
Reims

Reims

Reims is a region known for Champagne production, picturesque rolling hills and vineyards, and its proximity to Paris. Its champagne, the very symbol of sophistication, graceful living and celebration, is produced nowhere else in the world. Sightseeing centers around Reims and its Notre-Dame Cathedral, the heart of France's royal history where twenty-five kings were crowned. This Gothic structure is one of France's most magnificent churches, and some would place its rose windows among the best in the world. South of the Champagne vineyards is Troyes, once one of Europe's most magnificent cities. This capital of the Counts of Champagne is lined with beautifully-preserved half-timbered houses built during the 16th Century. North of Reims are the French Ardennes where Europe's sometimes bloody history has been decided on the fields of Sedan, Argonne and Châlons-sur-Marne, along the rivers Meuse and Marne. Visit all of Reim's attractions, including St. Remi Museum and Basilica, Palais du Tau, Surrender room, Fine Arts Museum, and La Pompelle Fort.
