Colmar

Today I did some spontaneous traveling with a friend to the lovely city of Colmar in Alsace, which is about a two hour train ride from Nancy. Fun fact: Colmar is the city where Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who created the Statue of Liberty, was born. For those who are into geography, here is a map of the Alsace region:


We walked around the five different Marchés de Noël (Christmas markets), and enjoyed seeing the beautiful holiday decorations  all around the old town.

As a lot of other assistants who are Disney fans have mentioned, Colmar reminds us of Belle's town in Beauty and the Beast, especially with the timber trimming on a lot of the buildings.


I hope to visit Colmar again when the weather is warmer!
