he Rhine is arguably Europe's major waterway, an artery of commerce that has been important since time immemorial.

Legend tells us that the river here is full of Rhine maidens that spend their days lolling around and just laying in wait for unsuspecting river-sailors. But those who can resist their charms are sure to enjoy the great Alsace wines that are produced along the French side of the Rhine. Yet this picture-postcard-pretty region has a turbulent, war-torn past of constant conflict.
