Introduction of Colmar Town, France

The French town of Colmar is rich in products. The natural environment and climate here are very suitable for agricultural development. It has always been a very important agricultural area in France. Because of fairy tales, the architectural style of Corma in France is abstract and beautiful. Let's share the travel strategy of Colmar, France.

We drove from Zurich, Switzerland to Colmar.

In the big cities of France, Germany and Switzerland, it is the nearest to drive from Zurich to Corma, which only takes more than two hours.

It was already afternoon when we arrived in Colmar. We walked around the town first. First, we want to find our hotel. Second, we found a parking lot for the night. Thirdly, we can also look at the general situation of this town.

While driving, I had a brief look at the town. As soon as I entered this town, this strong impression remained in the deepest part of my memory. Just like wooden reinforced houses built in childhood, churches with pointed roofs, rainbow-colored rivers, windows surrounded by flowers and colorful windows, the town in Hal's mobile castle was gradually restored in Kolma.

After the rain, there were no sunny afternoons, no bustling crowds, no noisy streets and lanes, the medieval stone roads were clean and tidy, and there were occasional tourists and cyclists. A picture freezes the fairy-tale Kolma.

Drop your luggage and park the car. Before dark, go and see some historical buildings nearby. The first place to go is CollégialeSt-Martin next to our hotel.

St Martin's Church is in the center of the town, next to a Little Square, which is a Gothic church built in13-14th century. The cloister is simple and elegant, and the copper spire built by 1572 is in Mongolian.

Not far from the church, I soon found the headmaster's house (Maison

des

Têtes), a Renaissance building built in 1609, is famous for carving the head of 105 on the front, so it is easy to find.

Avatars have different expressions and are vivid and interesting. Walking into the courtyard of Rentouwu, I found this is a five-star hotel. I wonder if the guests will be afraid to think about their heads at night.

At the end of Rentouwu Street, there is a square next to the former Dominican monastery, part of which is now used as a museum under the bodhi tree (Musée

Dante Linden). The monastery was built at 1232, next to St. John's chapel under the bodhi tree.

The museum displays important sculptures and paintings with the theme of the Rhine River in the middle and late Middle Ages and Renaissance, among which an altar painting created by Grunavard in 15 15 is the treasure of the town hall.

Leave the monastery and find Pufstadter House (Maison

Pfister) took a lot of effort and found several talents to find it.

Pu Fuste House, built in 1537, is a characteristic building with a long history. The exquisite storefront sells local folk art and food, which is worth savoring.

Its Renaissance-style front yard, Gothic windows and prominent belly windows are all famous. Because it is not easy to find, I also took a picture of its architecture.

After seeing several buildings, it was getting dark, so the Hui people took a few pictures of the night view of the town with a tripod. At 8 pm, I went to the restaurant I had chosen before. I wanted to taste the famous sauerkraut elbow and white wine here, but it was full as soon as I entered the door. There are only four or five tables in this small restaurant.

I can't find a restaurant nearby, so I have to eat fast food. This restaurant (restaurant)

LaTableduBrocanteur) is small in scale, but famous, and the evaluation of Cat's Eye Eagle is the first.

I didn't eat it, but I photographed it. Friends who have the opportunity to go to Colmar can book in advance and try.

Get up early the next day, the sun is shining. Go to "Little Venice", the best part of Colmar town. The Deirhead River, a tributary of the Rhine, passes through the town of Colmar. On both sides of the river are rows of neat and elegant huts, with small bridges lying still and ducklings playing on the river.

Every small bridge across the Rue River, every dock where cruise ships stop, and every family near the river bank are decorated with flowers, showing romantic amorous feelings.

In Kolma, people seem to have an indescribable preference for flowers, which is said to have originated from the once developed gardening industry here.

At that time, many flower merchants used Niuhe River to transport flowers. When the flower boat passed by, a burst of flowers floated into the residents' homes, which made people feel relaxed and happy, so they bought flowers and put them on their balcony.

In addition to florists, other vendors, including butchers, fishmongers and tanners, often sail on the Dille River to sell their goods.

Sometimes, in order to buy fresh agricultural products, residents of small towns also choose to go to the farmers' market by boat to buy their favorite items.

Because of this river, the antique Corma became very lively, so people also gave it a romantic nickname: Little Venice.

There are almost no tourists in Korma in the morning, all of them are local residents who are rushing to work and go to school. We chose a small street by the river to sit down. The street is very narrow, and the ground paved with stones is old and flat, with a slight light and quiet. The morning light hit the corner of the small street, leaving a beautiful shadow for passers-by.

After breakfast in a small shop on the street, we slowly walked back to the homestay in the center of town. Every street we pass is beautiful and exquisite, full of fairy tales. We see cobblestone streets and candy-colored attics, colorful flowers and shutters. Every path is full of exquisite imagination, and everywhere we go is like oil paintings and postcards.

On the street, old people riding bicycles and children playing in the street will greet us warmly. Because it was a long way to get to Lake Thun in Switzerland that day, I had to pack my bags and reluctantly left the town.

traffic

Colmar is at the junction of France, Germany and Switzerland, which is a little far from the big cities. When you go to some big cities in these countries, you'd better stop by. This time, we first went to Zurich, Switzerland. It only takes more than two hours to drive to Korma and more than one hour by train. It takes more than six hours to drive from Paris to Colmar and four hours by train. It is far from the big cities in Germany, and it takes four or five hours to get to the nearest Munich train. Self-driving cars can be booked on Hui car rental and trains can be booked on Raileurope, all in Chinese, which is very convenient.

stay

There are many accommodations in Kolma, including hotels and homestays, and each room costs from 200 yuan to 1000 yuan. It is suggested that you can try the homestays in the town center, most of which are wooden reinforced houses. Living there is not only convenient to go to various scenic spots, but also can experience the taste of European houses in the last century. Most of those homestays have good housing and toilet facilities, but many don't have elevators, so it will be difficult to carry more luggage up and down. Hotels and B& Hotels can be booked on Booking, agoda and Aibiying websites.

Food and drink

Korma is a tourist town with convenient dining. It is said that there is Chinese food, but we can't find it. It should be noted that it closes early at night, so it is best to make a reservation by phone in advance. Corma's sauerkraut elbow and Alsace white wine must be tasted.

language

The local people have good language skills. Apart from French and German, simple English is fine.

Best travel time

Colmar should be good in spring, summer and autumn, and a little cold in winter. There is a wine festival every September. The two-week Colmar Wine Festival is very famous in the wine country. At that time, white wine, German beer and all kinds of alcoholic products will make people attending the celebration taste enough. There is also the Kimchi Festival in September. Kimchi is a kind of Chinese cabbage pickled with white wine, which tastes particularly sour.
