Strasbourg

France as a country is like a superlative: It’s the largest country in Western Europe, bordering six other nations. It’s also the oldest country in Europe, existing in its present form since the 15th century

Some come to follow the trail of France's great philosophers, writers and artists, or to immerse in the beautiful language it gave the world. And others still are drawn to the country's geographical diversity with its long coastlines, massive mountain ranges and breathtaking farmland vistas. France has been the world's most popular tourist destination for over twenty years. People come to France for many a reason: its cities contain some of the greatest treasures on the continent, its countryside is prosperous and well-tended and it boasts dozens of major tourist attractions. France is one of the most geographically diverse countries in Europe, containing areas as different from each other as urban chic Paris, the sunny French Riviera, long Atlantic beaches, the winter sports resorts of the French Alps, the castles of the Loire Valley, rugged Celtic Brittany and the historian's dream that is Normandy. France is a country of rich emotions and turbulent politics but also a place of rational thinking and Enlightenment treasures. Above all, it is renowned for its cuisine, culture and history. Whatever you want from a holiday, you're about to find it in France.

France

As the name suggests, this is a large region of eastern France, fronting the entire border with Germany and Luxembourg, and significant portions of the Belgian and Swiss borders, too. It is unsurprising that everything of the region's culture, from the architecture and languages, to the food and wine, is a pleasing mix of Gallic and Germanic. Visitors come to explore the battlefields of the Ardennes and Verdun, to quaff glasses of champagne, gobble up quiche and sauerkraut, hike or bike the Vosges, or to glide lazily down the mighty Rhine. Devotees of gastronomy know it for its famous 'Wine Route' and come to taste the famous Rieslings and Gewürztraminers, but it is also renowned for its sauerkraut, sausages and other dishes that are reminiscent of the neighbouring Germany. The region is also renowned for an other  gastronomy speciality, the leading product of course being none other than the famous champagne, synonym of luxury and festivities the world over. Travellers seek out the region to amble through its small medieval towns, go walking along its plains interspersed with forests and valleys, or take a tasting tour of its legendary champagnes.

Grand Est

Located at the entrance of the historic district of Strasbourg, La Petite France, the building dates from the mid-sixteenth century and was used to store millet (a cereal). Before the French Revolution, the house was inhabited by an Ammeister (Deputy Mayor at the time) Mr. Lempp. During the Revolution, the crowd, after having looted the Town Hall, (formerly Place Gutemberg) then invaded and sold the house. In the 1790s, it was bought by a notary and this house has remained to this day a notary office. Since 2010, it is the property of a family from Strasbourg passionate about history and who is keen to renovate this place and give it back its splendor of yesteryear.
