Enriched by its industrial past, eastern France is constantly reinventing itself. From Strasbourg to Nancy, you’ll cross Alsace and Lorraine discovering both its famous and little-known treasures: old glassmaking sites have been transformed into museums under the pencil strokes of the most famous architects, a wonderful cabaret in the heart of the countryside resonates along with the garlands of the Strasbourg Christmas market, and Lalique's creations match those of Baccarat, and Art Nouveau has found its place within the shade of Place Stanislas...
Although it's the European capital, Strasbourg is above all a city of culture.

Strasbourg is renowned for its theater scene, including the very famous TNS, Le Maillon, and L'Odyssée, one of the oldest cinemas in Europe. ... Learn moreless

Hotel and restaurant in a village. Built in 1920 in Wingen-sur-Moder in the Bas-Rhin by René Lalique, the great art nouveau jeweller and celebrated master of art deco glass, the Villa René Lalique is now an exceptional hotel and refined restaurant — a living and vibrant tribute to its creator. Nestled within the heart of the Northern Vosges Regional Natural Park, the six exclusive suites, each inspired by an original design by the avant-garde artist, tell the story of a name that has become the crowning jewel of the French crystal industry. Within the gourmet restaurant’s large glass-walled dining room, Austrian Chef Paul Stradner works with his team to prepare intense and highly colorful creative cuisine. He's joined by pastry chef Jonathan Bunel, who draws inspiration from French tradition and modern influences for his sweet creations, and Alsatian head sommelier Romain Iltis, who oversees Villa René Lalique’s exceptional cellar, one of the finest in Europe, with no fewer than 60,000 bottles. Hervé Schmitt, the restaurant’s manager, directs the Lalique’s table service and setting like a ballet. ... Learn moreless

Restaurant and hotel in a park. This charming château is close to Lunéville, a town which Voltaire wrote “felt” just like Versailles.

Adoménil is an 18th century building that has been beautifully restored and enhanced by subtle touches of modernity. Starred Chef Cyril Leclerc creates audacious gourmet cuisine that gives pride of place to fresh products, many of them from the surrounding Lorraine countryside.

Jean-Georges Klein is a Chef Relais & Châteaux, who has been awarded three Guide Michelin stars. ‘While I was born in Alsace, I've almost always lived in Lorraine. It's in Lorraine, not far from the forestry workers' house where my grandmother prepared meals for lumberjacks, that I caught my first fish, discovered the world. I wanted to study fine arts, but I pursued hotel management studies. However, it was only when I was 39 that I left the family restaurant hall to take over control of the kitchen. This late vocation only made the experience stronger. Since 2015, by taking charge of the Villa René Lalique kitchen, I rediscovered my native Alsace. Since then, I’ve been looking for ways on how I could incorporate the flavors from these two regions into my dishes – flavors which gave me so much joy. The tour between Alsace and Lorraine evokes the richness and history of regions that are so special in France's cultural landscape. A discovery trip through landscapes and products that are dear to me…’
