Alsatian Vineyard Route, Wine route in Alsace, France
The 170-kilometer Alsace Wine Route connects 120 towns from Strasbourg to Colmar through rolling hills covered with grape vines against mountain backdrops.
Established in 1953, this route traces centuries of winemaking tradition through medieval villages that alternated between French and German control throughout history.
Local wineries maintain traditional production methods for Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris wines, offering cellar visits and tastings in characteristic green-stemmed glasses.
The route provides clear signs to guide visitors through villages, with numerous parking areas near wineries and viewing points for convenient exploration.
Every town along the route features distinctive architectural elements, from Riquewihr's 13th-century walls to Eguisheim's circular layout and Colmar's canal system.

France offers motorcyclists a diverse landscape, from Alpine peaks to Mediterranean coasts, including wine regions. The country is suitable for all riding styles, with demanding mountain roads, winding coastal routes, and rural paths. Key routes include the Col de la Bonette, reaching 2802 meters and connecting Ubaye to Tinée over 26 kilometers. The Gorges du Verdon feature 21 kilometers of rock-carved road, passing through tunnels and 700-meter-high cliffs. The Routes of the Great Alps cross 16 passes over 684 kilometers between Lake Geneva and the Mediterranean, with a total ascent of 15,700 meters. Mount Ventoux, accessible via three routes and standing at 1912 meters, passes through lavender fields and vineyards in Provence. Regions display striking contrasts: Corsica alternates between cliff roads and pine forests, the French Riviera combines coast and mountainous hinterland, and Dordogne winds between limestone cliffs and medieval villages. Lake Annecy connects water bodies with forested mountain passes. These routes feature technical curves, varied landscapes, and cultural sites.
