Colmar

Step into a living storybook in Colmar, the most perfectly preserved and photogenic town in Alsace, where the postcard-perfect La Petite Venise district unfolds with pastel half-timbered houses leaning over flower-lined canals, wooden boats gliding silently beneath arched bridges, and the gentle sound of water lapping against stone in one of France’s most romantic and Instagram-famous settings. Wander the cobbled streets of the old town past the magnificent Gothic Collégiale Saint-Martin, the ornate Maison des Têtes with its 106 sculpted faces, and the charming Quai de la Poissonnerie lined with cafés and restaurants serving tarte flambée, choucroute garnie, and crisp Alsatian Riesling, or simply soak in the medieval magic of a town that feels like a perfectly preserved slice of 15th-century Europe—yet just 45 minutes from Strasbourg and easily combined with the Route des Vins d’Alsace wine trail.

Savor hearty choucroute garnie with smoked meats, creamy Munster cheese, sweet kougelhopf brioche, and aromatic Gewurztraminer amid canal reflections, flower boxes, and the unmistakable warmth of a place where Alsatian tradition and fairy-tale beauty meet in perfect harmony.

Colmar isn’t just a destination—it’s Alsace’s most enchanting “Little Venice” and the living heart of medieval French-German charm—plan your Colmar escape today!
