Description
Colmar, France
September 2023
Located in the Alsace wine country of northeastern France, the ancient city of Colmar is known for its well-preserved old town, historic architecture and landmarks, and high quality / reasonably priced wines. Among its landmarks are several sculptures by Auguste Bartholdi - the sculptor who created the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. The old town section is a mix of high-end shops and cafes and restaurants and was a very enjoyable excursion during our Rhine River cruise from Amsterdam to Basl, Switzerland. The history of the city dates back to the time of Charlemagne and there are several examples of ancient structures still in use today. This example of the ancient architectural sights was irresistible: a modern casement window retro-fitted into a wall that was probably constructed 500 years ago.
