Riquewihr - One of the most beautiful villages in France

I visited Riquewihr after exploring the surrounding vineyards and tasting wines from the region. It was a very lovely stroll, with crisp cool air and lovely companions. However, it was a little too short to my liking. If I have a chance, I will definitely stay here for a night or two. That would help me to slow down from the hectic daily life in Singapore. These days, sometimes I feel like I just want to drop everything and go away to some far away village. And Riquewihr is an ideal place to relax and calm yourself.

Situated between the peaks of the Vosges mountains and the Plain of Alsace, Riquewihr is a medieval town right in the heart of the Alsatian vineyards and is considered one of the most beautiful villages in France. As it was not badly damaged during World War II, the village is still maintained the appearance and atmosphere of a medieval town, with half-timbered houses built in 15th - 18th century. In a way, it reminds me of Le Petite France in Strasbourg, but maybe a little prettier.
