Colmar, France


On Sunday, the kids, DH and myself, jumped on a train for the short ride back to Colmar.
A very good decision by the DIL, Colmar Xmas markets were amazing and we had a wonderful day exploring and visiting the 7 markets on offer, my favourite was the artisans market, the talent of the people exhibiting was brilliant.
 Colmar is located in the Grand EST region of northeastern France, near the border with Germany, the town has cobblestones streets lined with half-timbered medieval and early renaissance buildings.
We visited the gothic 13th century, Eglise Saint Martin church.



My favourite was the ginger bread houses.




Beautiful icing, amazed by the creativity.













Colmar was a very charming town.
