A rule of thumb


The region of Alsace in France is known for the hospitality of its hotels and restaurants. Nestled between wooded mountains and the river Rhine it is blessed with a mild climate and fertile land which gives good wine and good food.  Ideal for a stop over between Paris and Munich.  What hotel to choose between the hundreds offered?  Using our rule of thumb of judging the places by judging the appearance of their flower pots outside:

we chose the Hostellerie Au Cygne in Wissembourg.  It worked!  Great service, wonderful dinner, comfortable beds and a breakfast with Gugelhupf.  We will return!
