NO NEED FOR WORDS -COLMAR SAYS IT ALL - 'PHIL & Jill

Beautiful place to take a break

sunny 31 °C

Colmar is like walking in a film strip. The very old buildings, the church; absolutely every corner has a photo opportunity. We were here 30 years ago when Paul and Jodi were little and we rode in this area 6 years ago. It is captivating and the next time I come I will stay at least 2 weeks. We are just strolling around and people watching over drinks at Happy Hour. There is a lot to do here theatre, museums, shopping - all will have to wait til next time as I just want to enjoy it as if we live here in this lovely apartment.

Petite Venise (spelt with an 's') is a photographer's dream

Colmar attracts hundreds of tourists each day, particularly it seems groups of Japanese and Chinese as it is so different to their eyes.....mine too!! I just feel it can't be real

Just to give an idea. We look out our window and that's what we can see. Colmar is a compact, touristic town with its little tourist train, horse and cart to take tourists around and a free shuttle bus like we used in Caen. It is such a lovely place to relax.

So as you can see a picture tells a thousand words. Sheer enjoyment in this place.
