Ribeauville


 Our first chocolate box perfect village on the route de vins. It was an exciting day and a perfect one too. The weather was so warm still but vintners know it wasn't going to be like that much longer. Even as we, the tourisits were traipsing around the village, the harvesters were hard at work in the vineyards. The trucks keep rolling through the main thoroughfare of the village, bringing the grapes from the fields to the crushing machines and leaving empty back to the fields to bring back some more. For so long I've wanted to visit this area and I'm finally here. We came on the local bus from the train station in Colmar. There are other buses that go in other directions to other villages. We picked the most picturesque and the prettiest to visit. Ribeauville is one of them. Maybe the next time we come we'll see others.
