Arcantis Hotel Hexagone Colmar

... I asked why she was not able to serve the salad and pommes sauted without the accompanying meat or fish! She was adamant that this was all that she was prepared to offer. My friend therefore chose not to eat at all. Madam then informed us that all four had to eat or none of us could, insinuating that we would have to leave. At this point I would like to offer my most heartfelt congratulations that obviously Mdm and Msr Thomann are in the happy position of being able to ...

This was what I really came to Europe for. Freiburg was just the beginning of an awesome adventure for me. The mountains and the forest and the cake. We caught a cable car up to the top of the mountain and wandered in the snow. Got some great photos. We made Freiburg our base and toured a fair bit around the region. Spent a night here and there and came back to Freiburg for the festival. Took about two hundred photos in two hours one day; they had a ...

We picked another local place with Alsatian cuisine, as there was one more dish I wanted to try called Baeckeanoffe (potato, meat, and onion stew).

It was basically a crock pot with all the aforementioned ingredients which were quite tasty, but ...
