The Alsace Wine Route is almost six hours from Paris by car, but by TGV you are in Colmar mid-morning, and from there you do not need a car: Eguisheim, one of the prettiest villages on the route, is about seven kilometres away among the vines, and an e-bike puts it half an hour away. This plan is the simplest way to see Alsace in a day from Paris.

## The day, hour by hour

7:30 · TGV to Colmar. From the Gare de l'Est, direct or with a change at Strasbourg. Check the timetable for the day: some trains take longer.

10:15 · Bike in Colmar. Alsa Cyclo Tours has an office at 5 rue du Chasseur. E-bike at €45 a day or €30 for half a day; classic, €25. Ask for the Eguisheim route on tracks through the vines in the Loopi app.

11:00 · Eguisheim. Leave the bike at the entrance and walk the rings: the Saint-Léon château square, with the chapel of Leo IX and the fountain, and the whole circuit of rue du Rempart, north and south, with its curving half-timbered houses.

12:30 · Lunch at the Caveau d'Eguisheim. On the same château square. Three-meat baeckeoffe, choucroute garnie, fleischkiechle or bibeleskaes; dishes from €17.90 to €27.50. Open every day.

14:00 · Free afternoon in the village. A tasting at one of the caveaux in the courtyards or climb into the vines to see the village from above.

16:00 · Return to Colmar. Through the vineyard, unhurried. Return the bike before 17:45 and, if you have time, take a turn round Petite Venise before the train.

## Is it for me?

If you want to see a village on the route unhurried, eat Alsatian cooking and stroll among the vines without driving, yes. With children it works: the office has children's bikes, seats and trailers. If you want to see three or four villages, better sleep there: see the two-night break.
