Chateau du Haut Koenigsbourg

Chateau du Haut Koenigsbourg

Today was a fabulous day. After having a surprisingly delightful breakfast with a husband and wife from Texas, who are also staying at this bed and breakfast, the day was spend driving along the Route du Vin here in the Alsace. This part of France is best known for it's astounding white wines. Jodi and I stopped at just about every town on the route soaking up the ambiance and history of each. While in a village named Ribeauville, we notice several castles on the nearby hill sides. This one, Chateau du Haut Koenigsbourg, was originally built in the twelve century, but restoration was begun when the Germans controlled this part of France. As the day progressed, we visited Riquewihr, Kaysersberg, and Eguisheim, as well. In each of these villages, we found our perfect new home. Now that I think of it, we say that about almost every new town or village visit.
