From Mainz (Germany) to Strasbourg (France)


Change in plans….in April rather than just focusing on Mainz, I will also include the German Wine Route (another German wine growing area with castles).  That route will take us into Strasbourg which is just over the French border (1.5 hours from Mainz). It is a lovely city… but even better is the deli counter at the Cora Hypermarket which is just outside of Strasbourg in Vendenheim.  Prepared foods of all sorts, incredible selection of cheeses, everything your French-food loving heart can desire… at reasonable prices!!! After leaving the deli counter, stroll over to the bakery counter and pick up a loaf or two of French bread… then on your way to the checkout counter, select a bottle of wine. In winter, if you are staying in a place which has a microwave, be sure to pick up some French soup. The selection of soups  is out of this world and they are really good!!
