Colmar

Reflections

Colmar is located south of Strasbourg in the region of Alsace, France. A small town nevertheless known for its beautiful Petit Venice district (among others). You may visit the city for a daily excursion and try local cheese or wine since the city considers itself to be the "Capital of Alsatian Wine". Colmar might as well be your base to visit some Alsatian villages such as Kayserberg, Riquewihr, Obernai and others.

Petit Venice

Petite Venise is a district named after the scenery created by the river Lauch and the colorful houses on its banks. When the weather allows it, row boats will take you through this small canal where you may also enjoy your drink or food. 

Strasbourg

Strasbourg

They call Strasbourg the capital of Christmas! There is a reason for that but the city can be visited all year long. However, spirits are up during Christmas... Literally!!! Enjoy warm wine with fruits and cinnamon being served during the holiday period throughout the whole city!

Walk by the river

Apart from getting lost in the different markets selling all kinds of things, you might as well get yourself around the old city by the river. Walking by the water is relaxing but if this is too little for you, there is also a park to run or have a pick-nick!

Toy figures

Strasbourg is not only known as a holiday destination.  Located next to Oragerie park is the European court of human rights and the European Parliament. But as stated in the beginning the city flowers during Xmas and since these holidays are all about children, be prepared...
