Michelin Green Guide Alsace-Champagne
Ref: MCH1303
This is an example of the format of the Michelin Green Guides.
Well established authoritative tourist guides these include practical information, detailed mapping combined with colour photographs and illustrations.
Below is the introduction to the guide from the publisher.
The crossroads of Northern Europe, this region is a sparkling blend of diverse landscapes extending from the foothills of the Vosges mountains to the undulating plains of Champagne. The many vineyards produce the very different wines that are so closely associated with each area: bubbly Champagne, subtly fragrant wines of Alsace, golden liqueurs of Lorraine. Discover the landscapes as you travel through the vineyards of Épernay or Riquewihr, or admire the plum orchards of the Moselle Valley. From time immemorial, people here have sought to live life to the fullest, despite the vicissitudes of the wars that have befallen them. The smiling angel of Reims cathedral seems to extend an invitation to relax and enjoy the beauty around you: the great Gothic cathedrals, the thick forests, ruined castles perched atop the hills and also the allure of age-old traditions lovingly preserved. Delight in the villages of half-timbered houses, gaily decked with red geraniums; soak up the joyful spirit of grape harvest festivals; take your time to savour fine regional dishes.
