What our guests say

Very good travel documents. Even without GPS, you can find the routes very well with the maps and the description. [...] In Mulhouse, the Smurf Museum (car museum) is recommended. On the tour you pass the Parc le Petit Prince. A must for children. All in all, we liked it very much.

The round trip was very well chosen. The sporting aspect was not very demanding, which was what we wanted. The accommodation was all very good. There were no complaints about the luggage transport. A successful trip.

Gunter R.

Great hotel room in the Bristol; wonderful day tours on marvellous cycle paths; the historic wine villages invite you to linger; Colmar and Strasbourg should be explored on foot. Conclusion: a wonderful and varied tour based in one hotel!

Cycle Paths in Alsace

With a network of over 2,500 km of cycle paths, the routes in Alsace are superbly developed. The dense network of paths offers cyclists a variety of options on their journey. Along the Rhine, the cycle paths are flat, as soon as you head towards the vineyards, the route becomes a little hillier. The steepest and most challenging cycle paths are in the Vosges. Overall, however, it can be said that the network of cycle paths in Alsace is so well-developed and so varied that everyone gets their money's worth.

The Alsatian Cuisine

In Alsace, sauerkraut is very popular and is often served with sausages, pork and potatoes. And the Alsatian version of the famous Coq au vin, namely Coq au Riesling, the more controversial foie gras, the famous Tarte Flambée (pizza-like crispy base with sour cream) or sweet delicacies such as the Tarte aux pommes (Alsatian apple pie) or the Tarte aux Squetsches (plum cake) make the hearts of foodies beat faster.

The famous Tarte Flambée from Alsace

The delicious tarte is considered the French answer to pizza. Wafer-thin bread dough is traditionally topped with onions, bacon, sour cream and baked in a very hot oven. The name comes from the fact that the tarte flambée is baked before the bread, when there are flames and the oven is at its hottest.
