Colmar, France

Why Walk Colmar

Colmar is a small Alsatian town with enormous visual impact. The Petite Venise (Little Venice) quarter is a canal-side scene of half-timbered houses in candy colors, reflected in the still water of the Lauch River. The old town is a dense network of cobblestone streets with Renaissance and medieval buildings housing winstubs (Alsatian wine taverns) and artisan shops. The Unterlinden Museum houses the Isenheim Altarpiece, one of the most important paintings in Western art. The Maison des Tetes, covered in 106 carved faces, and the Maison Pfister, with its ornate painted facade, are architectural showstoppers. Colmar sits on the Alsatian Wine Route, and tastings of Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris are available at winstubs and nearby vineyards. The town was reportedly the inspiration for the village in Beauty and the Beast, and that fairy-tale quality is unmistakable.
