all rested, we took off for a driving tour of the Alsace wine country. We started at Thann which has the Collegiate Church built in the 13th century and has 500 sculptures built in sandstone all around the church. This is the start of the wine country. Unfortuately, the wineries were all closed as today is Sunday. We drove all along the countryside and eventually ended up in the town of Colmar. This is called the Little Venice of France as it has canals and boats just like in Venice. We took a city tour on the Petit Train for a 7 kilometer rider which took us in circles and we saw the same buildings twice. This was still fun. We returned to Saint Louis wondering where to eat as all restaurants were closed on Sunday morning (the bakery was open but had a line out the door and had no rolls or croissants, only bread. We drove to the town of Village-Neuf and found the restaurant “A L’Ange”. When Norm asked when they served dinner, the answer was “from now until we decide to close. If it is not busier, we will close soon.” We decided to eat right then just in case. We had a wonderful Chateaubriand which was basically a whole cow. Great dinner and our only choice except the order by computer restaurant at our hotel. Good choice.
