As I mentioned in my post about Strasbourg yesterday, I also traveled to Colmar last week.
Colmar is one most festively decorated Christmas villages I’ve ever visited. The narrow streets in the old town are brimming with Christmas market huts selling everything from hot chocolate to thick woolen socks to handmade ornaments to Santa Claus dolls. Colored half-timber houses each had the most delightful decorations adorning their facades, which I couldn’t stop photographing. Every so often there would be a square with a carousel or kiddie ride in riotous colors. The brilliant sunshine that day heightened the already saturated color of the buildings.
The Colmar holiday markets are open until December 30. You can take a non-stop train from Paris to Colmar in 2.5 hours. Click here for low cost train info.
