If you're a history buff, or just want to visit a place that's a little different than the average…read moretourist spot, take some time to check out the Auberge de la Ligne Maginot while you're in Alsace. On a recent Friday while in the area, I wanted to make sure that I got out there to visit. After driving through Hunspach (one of the most beautiful villages in France), we made our way up the hill and through the woods until a military bunker began to emerge at the entrance of the Ligne Maginot. The place opened promptly at 2 PM, and after paying our admission, we started our self-guided tour. The whole fortification is an impressive feat of engineering. As I toured around, I tried to imagine the planning that went into building the whole place. There are 4 major stations on the tour with staff available to answer questions in a variety of languages. We meandered through the old kitchens and pantries, infirmary, and saw some of the old cannons that would still be functional today if needed. We took a good 2.5 hours to go through, but you could make it longer or shorter depending on what all you want to see. While you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out!

We booked a table for four at Auberege du Cheval Blanc through the Fork…read more We received numerous emails prior to our visit from The Fork, Michelin and from Auberege du Cheval prior to our visit. This included a request for a credit card which we responded to. We even received a confirmation email from the restaurant the day before our visit. When we arrived, we were told by a stern faced young lady that there is no reservation. We must be at the wrong restaurant. We then showed the confirmation email. We were then told we hadn't provided credit card information. We then showed the confirmation we had. We were then told there is no table available. As gracious as we were through this exchange and requesting to have them make some accommodations of any sort, the women at the desk never cracked a smile, never apologized for any mistakes even as we continued to show proof of our reservation for that date (December 17, 2023) and that seating. She continued with a self-righteous attitude in the face of documentation to the contrary. She then begrudgingly got the Chef's wife to come out. This time only with acknowledgement of their errors. Not once was an I'm sorry uttered or any apology or reparation made. No offer of attending a different day, no accommodation of any sort. I truly find it shocking that an establishment with such a lack of service or quality of management has earned a Michelin Star. A Michelin Star used to carry a level of service and professionalism as well as the quality of the food and dining experience. I am saddened that I feel I can no longer depend on a Michelin Guide rating.

Beautiful and modern interior, airy with lots of plants and art. The hostess graciously switched to German and described the daily special, which I selected. So glad I did! Grated potato dumplings were pillowy, and the asparagus was flavorful. The pesto and light cream sauce were delicious - I mopped it up with a complimentary piece of baguette. I ordered an espresso which was served with a complimentary, and deeply chocolatey, mousse. A filling, yet light, and utterly satisfying lunch.
