Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burgundy is the hilly area of eastern France and is known worldwide for its fine wines. One-third of the region's wine is red (“rouge”) and two-thirds white (“blanc”). The Burgundy region has five villages distinguished as “the prettiest villages of France” as well as three World Heritage Sites and a unique medieval building project. Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, is just over an hour and half by high speed train (TGV) from Paris or a more sedate train journey from Basel or Geneva.Alsace is a particularly beautiful part of France. Castles and ruins dot the hillsides and the towns retain an old European look and feel. The region has nearly as much German influence as French with restaurants serving some of the finest sauerkraut and beer found outside of Germany. Alsace is one of the smallest and most densely populated provinces in France. Located in the upper east corner of the country, the region shares its borders with both Germany and Switzerland. Alsace's capital, Strasbourg, is a hub of political activity with many European Union organisations based in the city. The region has always been known for its fine wine and the 'Route de Vin' is a small road that connects the wineries and vineyards in the region's cities and towns.

Book excerpt: The remarkable untold story of France’s courageous, clever vinters who protected and rescued the country’s most treasured commodity from German plunder during World War II. "To be a Frenchman means to fight for your country and its wine." –Claude Terrail, owner, Restaurant La Tour d’Argent In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown–until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.

Download or read book Strasbourg France written by Ibrahim Lloyd and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strasbourg, France. Travel Guide and Tourism. Strasbourg is the perfect overture to all that is idiosyncratic about Alsace walking a fine tightrope between France and Germany and between a medieval past and a progressive future, it pulls off its act in inimitable Alsatian style. Tear your gaze away from that mesmerising Gothic cathedral for just a minute and you'll be roaming the old town's twisting alleys lined with crooked half-timbered houses à la Grimm; feasting in the cosiest of winstubs (Alsatian taverns) by the canals in Petite France; and marvelling at how a city that does Christmas markets and gingerbread so well can also be home to the glittering EU Quarter and France's second-largest student population. But that's Strasbourg for you: all the sweeter for its contradictions and cross-cultural quirks. In the year 840 AD, on the death of the Emperor Charlemagne's son Louis the Pious, the great Frankish "Holy Roman" Empire was split into three parts. West Francia in the west became the heartland of modern France. East Francia in the east became Germany; and between them lay Middle Francia an area today made up of small states, Luxembourg Belgium, the Nether-lands, and Switzerland. Between Luxembourg and Switzerland middle Francia included the duchies of Alsace, Lorraine and Burgundy, which are today part of France. But this was not always the case. Alsace, and with it Strasbourg, only became French in the 17th century. Alsace was French from 1648 to 1871, but during this time it remained Germanspeaking. From 1871 until 1919, and again from 1940 to 1944, Alsace was annexed by Germany
