Is the Alsace area of France an interesting place to visit?

Question

What's unique about it and where is the capital?

Answer 1

Alsace [and Lorraine], unlike the other French Regions, havr both French and German influences.  The region is situated in mid-eastern to north-eastern France.  It is bound to the north by Germany and to the east by the Rhine River [with Germany across the Rhine], to the south by Switzerland and the region of Franche-Comté and to the west by the beautiful Vosges mountains and the region of Lorraine.

Much of Alsace is found on a fertile alluvial plain, between the Rhine River and the Vosges mountains in the west.  The lower area, that rises from the Rhine, is checkered with vineyards.  The higher slopes are forested and sprinkled with monasteries and old castles.

The region of Alsace consists of the départements of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin.  Its principal cities are Colmar, Mulhouse and the regional capital Strasbourg.
