“I attended the ABTOF Conference last year and managed to get out and about in Alsace, which is close to the German border. To be honest, I knew very little about the region and was pleasantly surprised.
“It is a very quaint region and a marvellous country to tour. I stayed in the town of Colmar, which was peaceful, friendly and had fabulous food.
“But don’t be put off by the peaceful tag. There is nightlife to be found if that’s what you are looking for.
“Elsewhere in France I would go to Lyon, which is a lovely place to visit. It is a city of wonderful contrasts. I could wander for hours along the cobbled streets in the old part of town. The one slight drawback is that it’s so easy to get lost – which is exactly what I did.”
