La belle France
We packed the car back up, said goodbye to our wonderful German hosts (and the lovely town of Rothenburg), and headed back to France.
The major highways over there are referred to as the "A" roads - we avoided them as much as possible! :-) But eventually you need to get on a fairly major road to get across the border.
Which was weird in and of itself - no border crossings! The wonders of the EU!
Our first stop was a little town called Zellenberg, in the middle of the Alsacian Route des Vins (Wine Road). We could walk from our B&B down into Zellenberg itself, and there were two or three other little wine-producing towns within a 2-3 km walk. Nice!
The view from a dirt road leading from Zellenberg to the next little town.
Grapes! Aren't they wonderful?
A "cave" - wine store/tastng room in a nearby town where we stretched our rusty French and learned a lot about the wine-making process and traditions of the area - and tasted some very good wine!
