Autumn in Alsace

Thursday 12th October to Thursday 19th October 2017

Discover the Alsace by steam train on this rich tour of autumn splendour in eastern France. Based in the magnificent city of Colmar you’ll explore the region on privately chartered standard gauge steam trains on all of the preserved railways in Alsace and a forest railway in nearby Lorraine. There are also excursions into nearby southern Germany to enjoy and a visit to an impressive steam railway in the Black Forest. The area is dotted with quaint villages boasting gourmet restaurants of international fame, and charming cities featuring calm canals and medieval architecture. Tour highlights are a scenic lunch cruise aboard a classic motor vessel on the River Rhine, a visit to the Alsatian vineyard town of Riquewihr and the city of Mulhouse. Thanks to the short travel distances from Colmar to all the featured attractions this is a truly relaxed tour, and the perfect opportunity to see France in a completely new way!
