Publisher's Synopsis
Join an ardent traveler, Pax-the red panda, to take the pulse of the Euro-district, the capital of Alsace-Champagne-Ardenne-Lorraine (ACAL), the seat and see of the European Parliament, European Court of Human Rights, and European Council. Spend a week in this vibrant hometown of the Gutenberg project that once shaped the civilized world. Visit the daunting Cathedrals and Eglises (Roman Catholic, Lutheran), Calvinist and Protestant churches, museums, covered bridges, mansions, and forts. Save a day for a white wine tour in the Alsace countryside, and try the paired cuisine -- the mix of the French and German culinary magic.
