Alsace is a feminine appellation stemming from Alsace-Lorraine in France. This beautiful region has a Germanic and Latinized name that translates to “seated on the Ill,” a river in Strasbourg, “inhabitant of the other” in relation to the River Rhine, and more simply, “foreign domain.” Rich in culture, Alsace-Lorraine has endured much of Europe’s colorful history, pivoting between French and German ownership over the centuries.
