Quite an inviting place. The House of Heads really stands out among these shots!

I am constantly amazed at the wonderful variations of the different French regions and departements.
Jean Michel really looked the part outside the cafe – especially with his hat!

Yes, his Aussi Akubra always looks the part!

Comar is one of my favorite towns and you captured the essential beauty as well as its “ambience” in these photos!
Colmar is so amazing. I was able to stop through on my way moving from France to Germany, and couldn’t have had a better “farewell for now” to France. Beautiful photos and Colmar/Alsace should have more credit as a rich and wonderful region of Europe!
Your photos are just gorgeous!! When I visited in May, I was bracing myself for disappointment – I felt like I had heard so much about how cute Colmar is, that surely it would be over-hyped. I left just charmed, and wishing I had more time to explore the area. It truly is a little French gem of a town!
I’ve been to Colmar once but only overnight at Christmas time so I think it was dark the whole time I was there! I remember it being magical and festive but I didn’t get to see the canal or many of the pretty half timbered streets. I definitely want to go again in spring or summer. Ice cream kugelhof sounds delicious. Thakns for linking up to #AllAboutFrance Rosemary.

I’m sure you won’t be disappointed if you go back in spring or summer. Such as lovely place. Thank you for organising #AllAboutFrance Phoebe.
It all looks most picturesque, and with reisling and flammekeusche, what’s not to like?!
(Is ‘varnished’ the word you meant to use for the roof of the customs house? Would ‘glazed’ be better?)
Yes, glazed would certainly be better :). I suspected it was wrong but couldn’t find the right word.

Thank you, Jacqueline, it is a lovely town.

I’ve never been to Colmar, or anywhere in the east of France. Hope to get there one day. Lovely pics!
Stunning! #all about France
Lovely place!
Colmar is the perfect destination at Christmas.
I imagine all the Christmas markets are lovely.
