Location: Andlau, Alsace, France, Europe (Twenty minutes from Strasbourg)
Accommodations: Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
Overlooking the courtyard of an ancient abbey founded in the 9th century by St. Richarde, the estranged wife of Charles le Gros, the truculent ruler of France, our Andlau apartment is in a 17th century building that has been fully modernized.
In our opinion, the Alsace is the quintessential medieval area of France and a myriad ancient villages exist within a few minutes of our doorstep. Strasbourg is 30 minutes away and other daytrips could include, Switzerland, Colmar, Germany's Black Forest including Heidelberg, Freiburg and Europapark (a well-run Disney-like entertainment park suitable for families).
Museums abound, especially in the larger villages. If you are an old car buff, you can't miss the collection at Mulhouse, comprised of over 500 classics with more than 250 Bugattis! Like old castles? Haute-Koenigsbourg is 20 minutes away. Hike in the Vosges Mountains, cruise on the Rhine River, shop in the magnificent stores of Strasbourg, explore the Maginot Line, gaze at centuries old art hidden in secret corners of ancient churches still in use today, gamble at the casinos of Baden-Baden then plunge a naked body into the natural baths, run the gauntlet amidst the ruins of numerous ancient castles .........aarrgghhhhhhh we just have to get back!
