Alsace tourism appeal hailed

This year will provide some notable extra events in the Alsace region of France, it has been stated.

Official for tourism promotion organisation Alsace in the UK Tony Oliver noted that this year will see the 100th anniversary of the production of Bugatti's first car, which took place in Molsheim near Strasbourg.

"Any car lover should be there", he remarked.

Mr Oliver also noted that the International Beer Festival 2009 will be taking place in Strasbourg, instead of being held in Montreal as usual.

Such events may interest those thinking of buying French property in the Alsace region.

Mr Oliver also stated that there are many cycle routes in the region, which features one stage of this summer's Tour de France, as well as tourist routes including ones based on wine, chocolate, asparagus and cabbage, the latter due to the proximity of Germany with its penchant for sauerkraut.

The region's wine growers will be represented by a stand at the London International Wine Fair next month, with viniculture being another factor that may attract UK buyers.
