Colmar is billed as one of the prettiest towns in France, and it lived up to its fame! What a charming, lovely town! It could have fit a very large large family, and was very cheap compared to many other locations we had booked on the trip.
This was our building. It was yet another beautiful fall day, and we wandered around town, browsing in and out of shops and churches.
I love this town!! Wally discovered this divine bakery just down the street from the apartment and brought us goodies, Boulangerie Kraetz Claude. Look at the artistry of those shutters and that food!! My mouth is watering β I want a bakery do over! This was so sweet, these gentlemen slowly strolling down the street, the younger assisting the elder. On our way out of Colmar to begin our wine villages drive, we were astonished to see a perfect replica our our Statue of Liberty!!
We googled it and found the sculptor was from Colmar! How cool is that? It was just a short drive north, and our first stop of the famous Alsace wine villages was Ribeauville. Just as you drive into town is the Cave de Ribeauville, their village wine cooperative. We did a round of wine tasting and we all agreed β delicious!!
After our tasting, we went back outside and farmers were pulling in with tractors and their trailers brimming with fresh picked grapes.
