Colmar, France

Colmar is an enchanting city in Alsace, France. It is known for its colorful medieval architecture, and looks like a fairy tale in storybooks.

Have you watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast movie led by Emma Watson? The opening scenes of the movie in which Belle wanders in a medieval village with books in her arms, passing cobbled streets, was inspired by places that can be found here in Alsace, France. Walking along in Colmar feels like you have stepped inside a fairy tale in one of Disney's movie.

Colmar is known for its well-preserved half timbered houses with windows with flower pots, cobbled streets, brightly tiled-roofs, cafes, museums, canals. It is also the capital of Alsatian wines. You can visit a winery here and do wine-tasting.
