Colmar, the picturesque canal-side town

Colmar is a small town located in the Alsace region in eastern France, near the German border. It perfectly blends French and German cultures. Colmar is renowned for preserving its ancient architecture and old-town atmosphere. The historic center features museums, religious landmarks, shops, and residences that retain the charm of a medieval town. With its network of small canals, it has earned the nickname 'Little Venice of Alsace.' It is also the birthplace of the famous artist and sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the designer of the Statue of Liberty. Getting there: From Paris, take the high-speed TGV train from Gare de l’Est to Gare de Colmar, which takes about 3 hours. Attractions: - Saint Martin's Church: This historic church is a symbol of Gothic architecture in the Alsace region. - The Pfister House: A stunning Renaissance-style building, one of the oldest in Colmar. - Rue des Marchands: This street is lined with charming half-timbered German-style buildings, showcasing wooden frames on doors, windows, and facades. Most of these buildings house shops, hotels, restaurants, and well-preserved historic structures.
