*has to remember to do that 2-3d biking trip in alsace*. We've been wanting to do that for ages.
Alsace is mostly German (we can understand the real alsatian dialect, but only just) - but due to the changing winds of history is now (for the second or third time) French.
That's where the lovely convoluted names come from. Morschwiler-le-bas is a classic :-)
Are you sticking around a bit?
