Magical Colmar in France Sunday 20 April 2025 (5 Days)
This magical little town in North Eastern France looks like it popped straight out of a story book. From its sweet cobblestone streets and its intricate maze of rainbow-coloured houses to the miniature train that rambles around town, visitors to this tiny town can’t fail to fall in love with it. It’s been described as “the most beautiful town in Europe” and even “the most beautiful town in the world”. Join us and judge for yourself ! Colmar is a bit of France, Germany, and even Italy all at once. Most people would say it feels mostly like Germany, with the half-timber houses, the cuisine, and the fine brusque wines. It got its nickname “Little Venice” from the many canals it’s been built on, on which tiny boats drift along. And those colourful window shutters of all styles and personalities, plus the abundance of flowers in all nooks and crannies are just undeniably French. Colmar is one of the emblematic cities of Alsace. Located between Strasbourg and Mulhouse, the town is a must step thanks to its monuments and typical neighborhoods. Close to the historic district of "Little Venice", in the center of Krutenau, the hotel Turenne allows you to discover a magnificent listed site, with its colorful half-timbered houses. Colmar can be visited all year round. An original lighting, varying in intensity and color, takes place as soon as night falls on Fridays and Saturdays.Colmar is one of the emblematic cities of Alsace.
