Taking my 78 year old friend to see %26quot;her country%26quot;. Her grandparents were from the Alsace area. Shall we make Strasbourg our base? Would like to reserve a 3-day cruise on the Rhine - from Strasbourg a good idea? Then drive or train the wine road and stay in B%26amp;B%26#39;s along the way? Need lodging reservations for early October? Would appreciate any suggestions - thanks!

Both Strasbourg or Colmar would be very good bases, but it also depends on which area of Alsace her family came from .
The vine road is a great idea, especially since early October is the vine-harvest time . But you must drive that road, you cannot do it by train . Two days are fine to drive the road and visit the nicest villages without hurrying .

Thanks Anne2606 - your tips were very helpful. I%26#39;m still researching this and also thinking of a Christmas Market trip - but she%26#39;s not wanting to go in November because of the cold temps.
