Two Gault&Millau-approved gourmet getaways in the region
These are not the most touristy corners of the region, but they're well worth a visit to discover their riches.
Start by spending 48 hours around Langres, a town whose ramparts offer superb views over the surrounding valleys, and whose charcuterie and cheeses are the hallmark of its gastronomic tradition.
Discover also an itinerary for a few days in Obernai, a typical Alsatian town between Strasbourg and Colmar. It's one of the region's most gourmet cities, and hosts two major markets not to be missed: the Grande Braderie d'Obernai and the Marché de Noël.
The Grand Est 2026 guide is now available in bookshops, in cultural networks and on theGault&Millau e-shop.
