Alsace is located on the eastern border of France surrounded on the French side by Lorraine and Franche Comte. Its isolation on the eastern border makes it a rather forgotten region of France but has plenty of history to entice the visitor.

Alsace boasts Europe's highest concentration of feudal castles, bearing witness to its turbulent history.
