Vignettes from Jim and Emmy's years of travel


France

Alsace, Street Fountain

We have seen fountains along the streets in many places, but the Alsatian fountains have a charm of their own. The little towns, each with walls, gates, fountains, flowers, wineries and abundant charm, are separated by two to four miles of vineyards. All those things that made Kodak rich.

Large fountains are found along the cobbled streets, and some sidewalk gates were opened into photogenic backyard gardens, and street restaurants. Smell the flowers, enjoy the fountains, absorb the flavor of the Alsace.

Here we go again. Where are the words? What can we say? Pictures can’t completely describe the Alsace, it has a warmth, a charm of its own that must be experienced. The tourist brochure “The Wine Route of Alsace,” displays a rectangle of about twenty-five miles east to west, and sixty miles north to south, from Strasbourg at the northeast corner, to Mulhouse on the south. The brochure highlights sixty-five little towns and villages on the “Route du Vin,” and shows about 135 towns within the rectangle.
