(Translated by Google) Albi and Cordes-en-Ciel are great. The vineyards are lovely, the people are very friendly, but I was a little disappointed with the wines on offer. (Original) Albi et cordes-en-ciel c’est super Le vignoble, les gens sont très gentils mais un peu déçu des vins proposés

Enjoyed the small group tour of Alsatian villages with Léa. Usually the tour can accommodate up to 8, but only my husband and I had signed on for the day. Our guide was amazing: friendly, informative and helpful- setting a pace that was comfortable for us. This was worth every cent.
