Bordered by Germany and Switzerland, Alsace is a melting pot of cultures, yet has a strong regional identity of its own. It is beautifully situated between the river Rhine to the east and the Vosges Mountains to the west.
Home to great cities and stunning countryside, Alsace is known for its fresh asparagus, game stews and Christmas markets. It is the perfect destination to experience the richness of French culture.
With more than 20 international organisations based in the area, it is one of the most important political regions in the EU and Strasbourg holds the official seat of the European Parliament.
A history and politics trip to the Alsace region always starts off in Strasbourg, the heart of so many Pan-European developments. Extend your students' understanding of the workings of the EU with an opportunity to visit the European Parliament and The Council of Europe.
