(France)
It is no longer necessary to praise the charms of Colmar: its
half-timbering, its canals, its flowery town-centre... A
condensation of an idyllic Alsace, the Alsace wine capital is the
guardian of a lifestyle which you need to discover!
It provides the intimacy of a medium-sized town combined with
the most remarkable rich heritage. Birthplace of the famous
sculptor Bartholdi, father of the famous Statue of Liberty Leading
the People, it also saw the birth of Hansi, the most famous
Alsacian illustrator. Nevertheless, the place you really need to
visit is of course the "Petite Venise"! However, you will also
enjoy strolling on foot in the large town centre renowned for the
half-timbered houses of the Quai de la Poissonnerie. Culture
thirsty people will end their tour of Colmar at the Unterlinden
Museum to admire its famous Retable d’Issenheim (the Isenheim
Altarpiece)...
