First stop for today as we navigate the Rhine River is Riquewihr, Germany. Riquewihr is a small, darling, medieval town in the Alsace region. The Alsace region is a cultural and historical region on parts of the Germany/France border. Ages past this area would sometimes be considered part of France, other times, it was part of Germany. It has its own language, Alsatian, and a unique combination of both country’s cuisine.
The purpose of this stop was , of course, to see the Christmas Markets, but once Main Street – I fell in love and spent my time there. Here is a sampling…
Porch decoration of a local retailer.
Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas store is a wonderful shop that you can easily spend hours and hundreds of euros in!
This is just one room in the Kathe Wohlfhart store.
This unique coach sat outside of the Riquewihr Music Museum.
Thanks for reading!!
