salut ! I'd add too, for cyclists -- it's on the "route des vins" so makes for a great ride through lots of adorable towns/villages and vineyards ^^ have you been or are you adding it to your list?? ;) bisous
Hi Lyndi. These half-timbered houses you like so much are called "maisons à colombages" in French. Thank you for the pleasant video! And OK for a coffee! ;-)
The gap between houses come from the middle age period where houses were made of wood instead of stones like nowadays. This gap was for avoiding fire spread too easly to a house if house next door is on fire. Take that as an historically reminder.

ah thanks for this! i tried looking online (in english and french!) but couldn't find anything as to why:p thanks:)
Je suis content que tu aies eu du beau temps (et qu'un peu de pluie) pendant ton séjour. Pour l'allemand que tu as entendu, c'est le patois local. Historiquement, il s'agit d'une région plutôt germanophone. Aujourd'hui, beaucoup d'habitants de cette région sont fiers d'être bilingue. Il n'en était pas toujours ainsi ce qui se comprend facilement par les évenements historiques. C'est clairement un des énormes avantages de l'Union Européenne.
J'aimerais beaucoup y aller et sentir le mélange culturel entre mon identité allemande et une autre adquiri en aprenant le français comme langue étrangère. Deutsch ist letztlich aber auch da und das finde ich schön in Form des lokalen Dialekts. dem elsässischen.
It was my ancestors town from around 200 years ago, before they left to the UK, and then Canada (I'm at least somewhat-half Alsatian-German as a result ^^). I'd love to visit too, and was curious if there was any german spoken there, despite being in France :p
@@kimmyera174 it depends. i would say yes because as a border city, we have a lot of german tourists so many seller speak german in shops, restaurants. Not only sellers but many people also. Some people also speak Alsatian , a german dialect, but unfortunately it become less spoken and it's mainly the elders who speak alsatian. But some people don't speak german. Tha'ts unfortunately my case becuse my parents are from another region of france (Champagne region ) and i was not very good in German classes in school. That's a shame for me :( , i admit it. I only speak French and English(but with mistakes as you can see and a french accent) In German, i can only say hello, good bye and some other basic words and indicate directions
@@alexisjacquot6662 An alsacian personne who dosen't speak alsacian-german is not a true alsacian ! When Alsace became french again in 1918, 95% of alsacian people spoke only german....
@@kimmyera174 Yes, most of alsacian people speak german but not all of them. A 100 years ago, 95% of them spoke german beacause they are ethincally and culturally germanic as well as germans, austrians and swiss-germans.

L'alsacien, ce n'est pas un patois mais un dialecte allemand très proche de l'allemand standard.
