Hidden Courtyards✨

#falladventures Colmar has plenty of quieter corners and lesser-known spots that feel just as magical as the famous canals 🌿🏘️✨ Bartholdi’s Birthplace Courtyard Tucked just off a small street, this calm courtyard celebrates the creator of the Statue of Liberty. It has sculptures, vines, and a peaceful atmosphere many visitors skip. The Fishmongers’ District A tiny riverside lane near Petite Venise where old houses lean over the water. Early morning is especially beautiful with soft light and empty streets. Saint-Joseph Market A small neighborhood market away from the tourist crowds. Fresh produce, flowers, cheeses, and a glimpse of daily local life. Hidden Courtyards around Rue des Boulangers Slip through small archways to discover vine-covered inner courtyards and quiet corners decorated with plants and old wooden beams. The Dominican Church Less visited than the main church, with calm interiors and beautiful stained glass. It’s a peaceful break from the busy Old Town squares. Quai de la Poissonnerie Side Streets Walk beyond the main canal to the small parallel streets. You’ll find colorful houses, tiny wine bars, and quieter spots perfect for photos. Schwendi Fountain at Dusk Most people pass quickly, but staying here in the evening offers lovely views of warm lights reflecting on nearby buildings. River Path Near the Unterlinden Museum A gentle walkway along the water where locals sit, read, or chat. Great for a slow break between sightseeing. These hidden gems give you the softer, calmer side of Colmar beyond the postcard views.
