We live literally on the border to France, specifically Alsace. About this time every year a small village named Hagenthal-le-Haut has a four day food fest. We went for a couple of hours over lunchtime and here are some snapshots. Needless to say one ends up stuffed to the gills with all the free samples. I didn't do any wine tasting because ya never know when you might run into a Gendarme on the road. Wife said there was some very nice tipple-
Overview of what some of the area looked like -

WOWSERS
Very nice
Thanks for all the pics from another part of the world.
Anyway of noting the sausage in english.
I can see why you left stuffed to the gills. Like nepas ask could you translate some of the sausages for us? I see somethat are familiar but not all.
Thanks for the pictures, I would have been like a kid in a candy store till I needed a bank loan to pay for it all. :D
Added some additional captions to explain sausage types.
Some amazing product there. Would love to visit some day
Beautiful pic's. That looks to be a great day filled with good food and wine. Wonderful experience, I would love to have been there with you.
OMG that would be worth the trip. Very nice post 3rensho thanks.
Great Pictures!
Wow! What a wonderful time you must have had!! Thank's for sharing.

My goodness your picture series brings back wonderful memories of France. From the foie gras, to the saucisson and cheese, I could almost taste the essence of France in your post.
Thanks for sharing
Looks awesome, got all the way to the bottom of the pics and scrolled back up to figure out where it was, always forget that bradley is worldwide. Love it!
