FRANCE: Riquewihr village

A popular tourist attraction for its historical architecture, Riquewihr looks today more or less as it did in the 16th century. It was one of the few towns in the area not to be badly damaged during World War II. The town is surrounded by its medieval fortifications and is overlooked by a castle from the same period that is today a museum.
The village of Riquewihr is also known for the Riesling and other great wines produced in the village.
Riquewihr is located in the Alsace region, 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Colmar.
