🥂South Along the Alsace Wine Route: Ribeauvillé, Hunawihr & Riquewihr
The Alsace Wine Route shifts again as you move into the heart of the “postcard” villages—where the streets feel narrower, the façades brighter, and the sense of history is sometimes hidden behind how effortlessly charming everything looks. This chapter takes me through Ribeauvillé, Hunawihr, and Riquewihr—three stops that sit close together, yet each tells a…
🥂 Heading south along the Alsace Wine Route
The Alsace Wine Route isn’t only about postcard villages—it’s a chain of small, distinct places shaped by centuries of viticulture, trade, and the shifting borders of the Rhine plain. On this part of the wine route, as I continue south from Mittelbergheim, the character changes: the vineyards feel closer, the villages tighten around their historic…
🍂 My journey along the Alsace Wine Route
The Alsace Wine Route runs for more than 170 kilometers along the foothills of the Vosges, linking historic villages, hillside vineyards, and some of France’s most distinctive white wines. For travelers, it offers a rare combination of accessibility and depth: short driving distances, walkable village centers, and a clear sense of place shaped by centuries…
🍂 Autumn Days in Strasbourg — Cathedrals, Canals, and Quiet Corners
Canals, winter light, and soft layers in one of Europe’s most atmospheric cities After leaving Provence behind, I arrived in Strasbourg, the capital of Alsace and a city that feels at once French, German, and entirely its own. Here, half-timbered houses lean over the water, trams glide past Gothic spires, and the air carries the…
🍂 Autumn Moments in Avignon — sunlight, stone, and softly tailored days
Medieval grandeur, Provençal light, and easy autumn style in one of France’s most storied cities After a gentle route through Aix-les-Bains and Chambéry, I continued south into Provence, arriving in Avignon—a city where medieval history and warm southern light blend in a way that feels instantly cinematic. Avignon has an energy all its own. For…
🍂 Autumn in Aix-les-Bains & Chambéry
Alpine light, soft layers, and two cities with quiet elegance After a few days in Beaujolais, I traveled east toward the Alps, beginning a small two-city escape through Aix-les-Bains and Chambéry—two neighboring towns that feel like sisters: one relaxed and lakeside, the other historic and quietly regal. This part of France has a gentler rhythm…
🍇 Exploring Fleurie & Brouilly
Beaujolais • Vineyard visits, cuvées to try, and hillside charm After completing my time in Villié-Morgon, I continued south through Beaujolais to explore two neighboring crus that feel closely connected but offer distinctly different expressions of Gamay: Fleurie and Brouilly. They’re only a short drive apart, which makes them ideal to visit on the same…
🍇 Villié-Morgon — At the Heart of Beaujolais
The Beaujolais hills unfold like a watercolor — rows of vines brushing the horizon in soft golds and greens, dotted with stone villages and bell towers that have watched the harvest for centuries. This is the land of Gamay, a grape that thrives on sunlight and generosity. From these slopes come wines that are bright…
🌿 Autumn Light in Tuscany
There’s something about the light in Tuscany that feels like silk.It wraps around you gently, softening the edges of everything — the hills, the vineyards of Chianti, even time itself. I arrived here between summer and autumn, seeking a little stillness, and found instead a rhythm I didn’t know I’d been missing. Each morning, the…
