Europe - 2016

Day 24: Basel to Breisach Sat Jul 30, 2016

We left Basel for a short trip to Breisach in Germany. In fact, we touched three countries, departing from Basel in Switzerland and travelling along the Rhine. On the left-hand bank of the Rhine was France. On the right-hand bank was Germany. On arrival in Breisach, we chose to take an excursion to a Alsace winery in Wettolsheim, Germany. In the afternoon, we visited the medieval city of Colmar in France.
