Colmar is a medieval village with so many canals that it’s
been
nicknamed ‘Little Venice’. It’s filled with half-timbered houses, diminutive
winding lanes, and cute little shops. We spent several hours wandering the
streets after getting a really good tour of the town. We wondered why the
Statue of Liberty welcomed us to town until we found that its designer,
Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, lived here. It’s a pretty town and I’d have been
happy spending substantially more time exploring.
