As we went along the Route des Vins d'Alsace on Sunday we saw the beauty that is Alsace. Stretches of land with vineyards and little towns wedged in the foothills of mountains. These French towns decorate there balconies in flowers, lots and lots of colorful flowers. They're known for their geraniums: pinks, oranges and reds, all overflowing the towns with splashes of color. We were told that the geraniums have won competitions repeatedly, and some years they are not allowed to compete, in order to allow others the chance to win.
You can see that the French hold value in the nurturing of a garden, the aesthetic of the home, garnishing with flowers. It's hard to go by these towns and ignore the beauty of them and the effort that has gone into making them elegant.
