In conversation with Brighde Reed of World Vegan Travel, the two of us share all the reasons why Alsace France is a magical place to visit anytime of year, but especially at Christmastime:
- Quaint medieval villages
- Festive Christmas markets
- Dramatic castles
- Bear and wolf sanctuary in the Black Forest
- Wine
- History
- Culture…
- …and glorious French food, made plant-based and delicious!
We’re going back again and taking folks with us, but whether or not you join us on our Joyful Vegan Trip to Alsace or plan on traveling there on your own, this episode will make you want to curl up with some hot cocoa (or mulled wine) in front of a warming fire.

About Colleen
Hello, and welcome. I’m Colleen, aka The Joyful Vegan, and I’m here to give you the tools and resources you need to eat, cook, travel, and live compassionately and healthfully.
Donating = Loving
For over twenty years, my work and podcast have remained free (and ad-free) and vibrant thanks to support from listeners, followers, and readers. I have no staff, no interns, and no assistant. What you see (and hear and watch) is a one-woman labor of love that is also my life and my livelihood. If this labor has impacted your life in the past year (or the past decades), please consider aiding its sustenance by becoming a patron or by making a one-time donation. Your support makes all the difference.
