France + All Things French
Alsace is neatly tucked into the northeast corner of France and enjoys a unique identity due to the cultural influence of its neighbour Germany. Let's take a brief look at what the region of Alsace has to offer and why you might like to add it to your French travel itinerary. We won't cover everything this distinctive region has on offer, but rather a little taste of what you can see and do.
Saint-Émilion is a commune in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in Southwestern France. It's in a region of wine hills steeped in wine making history that is still relevant today. Saint-Émilion is one of those stunning medieval cities that France is well known for and it's conveniently located at the crossroads of Bordeaux, Saintonge and Périgord. I mean, how more perfect could the town's location be for those of us that like to explore the very best of France! Saint-Émilion is also a UNESCO World Heritage.
Today we're sharing some information about Saint-Émilion and its famous grape harvest festival, Fête des Vendanges, which is currently on right now.
