Colmar is a masterpiece of French culture—from the magnificent half-timbered houses that line the historic streets with their distinctive Alsatian architecture, to the historic streets of the old town where every building tells a story of French and German history, from the sophisticated neighborhoods of the city center where modern Colmar life thrives, to the world-famous wine route that winds through the surrounding vineyards. This is a city where every street corner tells a story of French history and culture, where every meal is a celebration of Alsatian hospitality and traditional flavors, and where the concept of 'Colmar charm' reflects the city's enchanting atmosphere.
