Alsace, Burgundy or Vienna? Please help!
 
I am taking a poll, which would be the most fun on a short 4 day vacation? Alsace, Burgundy or Vienna? I like eating, drinking, seeing pretty scenery , great architecture and meeting nice people.

definitely go for Burgundy ! <BR> <BR>especially eating/drinking is better... <BR>dijon/beaune offer lovely old architecture <BR>the scenery up the hills of the vineyyards is pretty (not as nice as the alsace i have to admit) <BR>and the people you meet love to eat well and drink excellent wine <BR> <BR>vienna is well... grand..., but excluded ... wine & food can't be compared to burgundy ! <BR>

Definitely Burgundy! <BR> <BR>2 must-sees are Epoisses (Impressive 1,000 year old fortified Medieval then Renaissance castle) and fabulous cheese (sells in the US). Also check out a local speciality: a cheese pastry called Gougere which you can buy at a boulangerie just around the corner from the entrance to the castle. <BR> <BR>2.5 Hours drive from Paris on the Southern Motorway A6. <BR> <BR>Other places of interest are: Semur En Auxois, Vezelay and Fontenay Abbey. <BR> <BR>The most underrated and most beautiful part of France! <BR> <BR>Check out these sites: <BR> <BR>http://www.avallonet.com/epoisses/epoisses.htm <BR> <BR>http://www.thebestgourmet.com/uk/produits/p7.html <BR>

Having been to all 3, I would vote for Alsace because of its interesting mix of cultures as well as the wines, food, people and architecture.
