If there ever was a fairytale land that really exists it must be Alsace.  This little corner of France is full of enchanting villages and landscapes just begging to be visited.  The Wine Route (Route des Vins) is a delightful 106 mile trail that wanders across miles of undulating, vine-covered hills, and through quaint villages with narrow streets and charming flower-decked houses clustered around the local church steeple.  A visit to Alsace will never be forgotten.
