Authors on the Road: Alsace
Alsace is a land of borders and encounters, where the French and German souls intertwine to create a unique and fascinating identity.
Formally known as the European Collectivity of Alsace, it is a historical and cultural region with a strong character, now a special-status territorial collectivity, established on January 1st, 2021 through the merger of the Haut-Rhin and Bas-Rhin departments.
Resting along the western bank of the Rhine, on France's eastern frontier, Alsace unfolds across gentle hills, orderly vineyards, and fairytale villages, close to Germany and Switzerland. It is a land where medieval castles crown the heights, half-timbered houses reflect in quiet canals, and centuries-old traditions coexist with a lively modern spirit.
At the heart of the region lies Strasbourg, its economic and cultural capital and home to major European institutions-an elegant and cosmopolitan city where past and present converse, and every street tells a story.
Alsace is not merely a destination: it is an experience to be savored slowly, through landscapes, flavors, and atmospheres that linger in the heart.
Page after page, spectacles of nature, remarkable human achievements, and magical places unfold before our eyes.
The rich photographs, paired with insightful reflections created during our journeys, are meant to spark curiosity and inspiration. Only the experience of travel-travellers will agree with us-brings together growth, learning, and personal and cultural enrichment, offering us a vision of the world and of ourselves that is always new.
This book is intended to inspire both those who love to explore the world from the comfort of an armchair and the most daring and adventurous travellers.
