  • On Day six of our road trip through France the weather was perfect for a walk. In summer the previous year we had decided against walking here due to temperatures in the mid 40`s centigrade. No such problem today as we enjoyed some blue skies and a warm sun. We begin our walk in Ribeauville, one of the oldest medieval towns in Alsace. It sits where the vineyards meet the thickly wooded slopes of the Vosges mountains. Above the towns picturesque centre sit the three castles of the Lords of Ribeaupierre. We have visited these previously when walking more northerly trails here. We soon leave the colourful, flower filled streets of timber framed buildings to wander in a southerly direction through the vineyards. On the open hillsides we were greeted by panoramic views over the Rhine Valley and in the misty distance the Black Forest. We soon pass through Hunawihr, another delightful Wine Route village, to which we would return later. Soon we emerged on a hillside overlooking Riquewihr. This "Gem of the Alsace Vineyards" is a remarkable place. Streets, alleys and squares are filled with medieval timber framed buildings that give us a glimpse of what medieval Europe might have looked like. The buildings themselves though are filled with tourist shopping opportunities, accommodation, restaurants and the streets often crowded with day trippers. Soon, once again outside the towns 13th century walls, we are in the calm vineyards where the leaves are starting to turn to autumn colours and once more the views unfold. All too soon we are back in Hunawihr and a pause to view the church of St Jacques le Majeur. It is surrounded by a high wall which gave villagers a place of refuge in case of attack. Our descent back into Ribeauville was delayed a couple of times as we simply sat a while to admire the views and the tranquillity of our surrounds.

    Beautiful town. Another clock tower! No need for watches around here. LOL. Neat to see the vineyard and the countryside. Lots of flowers around. Beautiful. Thanks for the tour. Have a wonderful day.

      Which is great because I don`t have a watch! I am not keen on wearing stuff like watches and jewellery, rings and things. Usually I can pick out church clocks in the countryside or usually have someone next to me who I can constantly annoy by asking the time. This was a really beautiful little walk between the villages and through the vineyards. Thanks for watching.

    What a beautiful town. Old and with charm. One day hopefully I will be able to walk through some vineyards, relax at a beautiful spot, and have a glass of wine. The town gate is beautiful at Ribauville. This is like a fairytale for me. So amazing. Thank you so much for taking me with you on this adventure. (love the bubble teddy)

      Mostly known for its Riesling wines which can taste very sharp and clean. I actually prefer reds myself and a beer when walking, we need the fluids!

    You both certainly had lovely weather to enjoy this part of France. While there was so much that was typically French, areas made me think of England too. You were lucky for it to be so quiet, it looks like you have the streets and vineyards to yourselves.

    • @IvorsTravels
      @IvorsTravels  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We had perfect weather to walk. Some of the villages can be busy but once away from the shops and car parks it is always quieter. It was quite idyllic walking here. Thanks for watching Nettie.

    Our appetite is suitable whetted Ivor.
    Gorgeous.
    We have e eight days in Alsace / Black Forest in September.
    Riquewihr is somewhere we have as a stop over - the motorhome park up is between Riquewihr and Beblenheim. So maybe we will be wandering those beautiful paths like you later this year.
    Love this.

    • @IvorsTravels
      @IvorsTravels  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I hope so Dave, and sampling the wonderful local wines, I stayed on the campsite near Riquewihr many years ago, and September is a lovely time of year to visit.
      All the best, Ivor.
