Relais Marmotte Colmar

... losing over € 80,-- instead of possibly only € 20,-- when my friend chose not to eat. Quelle domage!

Happily we managed to spent what we weren't able to consume at the next market!

I would not go back to Ribeauville, yes to Kayserberg! Although, I must admit that this was not my first time to this area, the landscape is delightful, the food however was surprisingly mediocre everytime we ate out. Would love some insider recommendations.

Made some scrambled egg for breakfast and cups of tea not sure what we are doing today, we went for a little walk around not very exciting and everything was closed as it was sunday. We went on the Internet and back to the room for some lunch of local cheese, pate and bread it was really nice. Its a little boring here and feels like a sunday in Warrington but the whole idea is for us to chill out and relax and recharge our ...

Excited today as its Halloween and I like the fun of it; unfortunatly not many places in Europe celebrate it they think its more for the kids but I like it. Woke up early we were going to get the late train at 12 but we had time to get the one at 10 we are going to France today but first we have to go to Switzerland and then into France so we are doing 3 countries in & day again. Its so hard to use the ...

Otra vez en Francia. En la rivera del alto Rhin Colmar es un ejemplo de ciudad medieval bien conservada, con casas de entramado estilo alsaciano y canales llenos de vida. Conserva perfectamente el ambiente urbano de las ciudades centroeuropeas que nacieron alrededor de las rutas comerciales.

... mais c'est déjà dépaysant. après le musée des Beaux Arts le Dimanche Matin, on profite d'un temps digne de celui que j'ai laissé sur Avignon pour aller prendre l'air et la verdure au parc Botanique et zoologique de Mulhouse qui vaut vraiment un détour.

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 ...

... and gorgeous walking trails. All that was missing were a couple of canoes and maybe the sound of a loon. After meeting up with our avid climbing buddies Matt and Elizabeth, we headed back to Colmar for a fabulous dinner in the old town complete with fine wine, full bellies, incredible company, and of course crème brulee! A perfect way to end our mini-vacation with great friends. Off to Switzerland again to catch our flight from Basel to Sardinia! P.S. Happy Birthday Krista!!!

Hey everyone, On Sunday, I visited France with some friends from work!! We spent the day driving to a couple castles and to the city Colmar. We started out driving through the countryside around Freiburg. I was surprised at the amount of vineyards in the area and we are talking about doing a 'Vineyard Tour' in a couple weeks!! Other than the grapes and the mountains in the distance, the area reminded me much ...

... books for information about what we thought would be our next destination, Strasbourg. However, Chad had been doing some reading about a town called Colmar, and after a discussion with Ed, we began to think that we should go there instead. He showed us four postcards, two were of Strasbourg (one was a picture of a cathedral and the other of the town center), and the other two were of Colmar (one showed a small river from a bridge with the title "Little Venice", and I didn't even have ...

... of the great watches (which Chris liked) there was an exhibit of winding keys which Melanie liked. These were tiny little works of art in all sorts of shapes and decorations. The exhibit had hundreds of these little keys, all beautiful. Melanie also enjoyed mansion itself. The second museum, in La Chaux-de-Fonds is HUGE. It was a bit overwhelming for Melanie, but Chris **really** enjoyed it. Everything you ever wanted to know about watches and ...
