Riquewihr is a commune in Alsace in north-eastern France. A popular tourist attraction for its historical architecture, Riquewihr is also known for the Riesling and other great wines produced in the village. Riquewihr looks today more or less as it did in the 16th century. Riquewihr was one of the few towns in the area not to be badly damaged during World War II. The town is surrounded by its medieval fortifications and is overlooked by a castle from the same period that is today a museum. There is a museum about Alsace during World War II and a torture chamber. The village is a member of the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("The most beautiful villages of France") association.

The trip went very well and the hotels that we stayed in were very nice. I would say the overall experience with RoutePerfect was good and if we go another trip like that we will go back to the website.

It was the first time my wife and I took a trip where we were dependent on public transport, so being confident in the hotel arrangements was essential to us. The trip was an experiment to see if we would enjoy this kind of holiday, and the answer is a big yes and we intend to go on more ambitious journeys in the future. RoutePerfect provides an excellent service to anyone wishing to plan a holiday that can be molded to fit your individual requirements. Response to inquiries were quick and I would not hesitate to recommend RoutePerfect. Keep up the good work, we hope to be in touch in the near future.
