From Colmar to the top of the Vosges Mountains.

This tour will give you the unique opportunity in Alsace, to be immerged in this recent sorrowful history. The morning will be dedicated to experience the battlefield of WWI, located on the top mountains of the Vosges. You will have the one opportunity to walk inside the originals trenches, to learn about the tragic history that did provide 9 millions of casualties in 4 years, to visit the memorial and military cemetery, standing on that sadly famous spot. In the afternoon, fascinated by the WWII's veterans that I had the privilege to drive back where they fought, I invite you to follow the steps of the 3rd US Infantry Division and the First French Army, for the liberation of Alsace. Visit the museum of the « pocket of Colmar » in the charming village of Turkheim, & learn everything about the most difficult fights of the winter 1944-1945, the hardest winter of the 20th century. This tour provides an excellent excuse to drive through the most scenical "route des crètes", at the top of the Vosges mountains.
