We hear a lot about Bugatti, just last week, the President was fired. Being just in the area, I decided to pay a visit to Molsheim, home of the Bugattis...

Molsheim, located 20 miles South of Strasbourg, in Alsace, next to the German border in France (the area was German when Bugatti was started).
It's a nice medieval city, on the whine route, with building dating back to the 13th century.
