Gites in Alsace (EuroRelais)

 

Note: To see Alsace gites with swimming pools select 'holiday theme' and 'with swimming pools' (the final option).

Alsace is found in eastern France, on the border with Germany to the east, and Switzerland to the south. The Lorraine region of France lies to the west of Alsace.  It is the smallest region in France, and lies between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine.  Strasbourg is the capital if this heavily forested region, and the climate is almost 'continental' - hot summers and dry, cold winters...see Alsace Travel Guide before choosing a gite or holiday rental in Alsace.

 

What to expect from an Alsace gite holiday?  Alsace is one of the 26 regions of France, located on the eastern border of France, on the west bank of the Upper Rhine, adjacent to Germany and Switzerland. Its capital and largest city is Strasbourg. Alsace, previously a part of the Holy Roman Empire, changed hands between France and Germany several times between the 17th and 20th centuries. Although it was a German dialect-speaking region for several periods in its history, every Alsatian today speaks French.  About 25% of the local population is fluent in Alsatian (as a mother tongue) or German (as a second language).

Alsace is frequently mentioned in conjunction with Lorraine, because possession of these two régions (as Alsace-Lorraine) has been often contested in 19th and 20th century history, following a division among the successors of Charlemagne in the 9th century. (Wikipedia)
