Riquewihr - translation "Rico Villa"

We returned recently from a tour down the Rhine River, where we came across this amazing little town in the Alsace wine region. Riquewihr was developed since the 13th century, and has retained it's historic feel, as it survived WWII with relatively little damage.

During our tour there, we were excited to discover that the origins of the name for this town came from "Richo Villa" (pronounced "rico")... how fitting.
