Alsace
France's smallest region at 190 kms by just
50kms at its widest point, has warm summers,
cold winters and low rainfall. The lee of two mountain ranges, numerous natural lakes and a major river network provide abundant fish, fruit, cereal crops and dairy produce. Alsace is also France's main brewer and a major white wine producer. Shared borders
and history
spanning over 800 years with Germany to the north and
Switzerland to the east, have shaped
this region's unique fusion cuisine.
