I recommend drinking Vin Chaud when you’re in Strasbourg, France

Wednesday, 28 January 2009

Ever wondered how they keep warm in the cold winter months in Alsace?! They heat really good (most of the time) white wine and drink it like tea! And you can get it pretty much in every square!

Old wine in a new flask?!

Hot, sweet wine

    Go to La Clusaz, France. This is a small and traditionally typical ski village in the Alps just above Annecy in Haute Savoie. I actually lived there. Every Friday, the town would ring the church bells and have "vin chaud" free! (masculin, le vin est chaud) Of course, it was to welcome the new wave of vacationers, but they didn't stop anyone living in the town partaking. Wearing traditional alpine garb, they'd ladle it out of these huge caldrons, and have a couple of cows present for ambience. Market day was great too. Why did I ever move?
  • ooohh!! More places to visit when I backpack in france! (I've been promising myself that for a while now).

    and I hit myself in the head for writing the "vin chaude", when it is clearly masculine (and all I had to do was look at the picture ... grrrr...)
