Alsace
Art, History & Archaeology Sites & Museums

Located in the northeast, and sharing a border with Switzerland and Germany, Alsace is the smallest region in mainland France. The Rhine River marks the region’s boundary to the east, and the majestic Vosges Mountains to the west. Alsace is often described as the very heart of Europe, not least because the region contains the city of Strasbourg. The departments in Alsace: Haut-Rhin and Bas-Rhin.
