This post is the third and last of three in my France 2024 series. The first post on Paris strolls is here. The second post on my three days in Strasbourg is here.
Getting There
From Strasbourg, I took a train to Colmar, one of the prettiest towns in France. The train ride took 30 minutes. Colmar is renowned for its well-preserved old town, its numerous architectural landmarks, its museums and its Alsatian wine.
Exploring Colmar
I picked up a map from the Information Centre in Colmar train station and started walking towards Colmar town centre. The 6.1 km (3.8 miles) discovery trail is marked with a bronze directional sign on the ground. The day started with sunny skies then turned cloudy and rainy. Fortunately I had an umbrella with me and enjoyed a late lunch at Café de la Lauch while it rained hard.
Here’s a sampling of what I explored and discovered in Colmar.
I greatly enjoyed Colmar and my late lunch at Café de la Lauch. The Flammekueche (tarte flambée) and coffee were delicious.
