12. The Ambiance of Colmar
The entire town is a delight in French country charm. While Provence reminds me more of Degas & Renoir landscapes and lavender perfume, the Alsace region and Colmar is French fairytale. With minimal English spoken, it feels less touristy and authentic. I expected to see Gaston from Beauty and the Beast bound down the cobbled roads. The cafe’s had all the French quaintness with an accordion player outside.
Peak into back alleys to find layers of buildings going back 400 years and still useful as local businesses and homes with 20th century pavement.
Even the train station does not disappoint in leaving a lasting memory of this unique border region influenced by the charm of France and Germany.
