Apparently Colmar is the inspiration for the town in Howl's Moving Castle by Hayao Miyazaki #wewhotravel #lifeatexpedia #colmar #france #littlevenice #petitevenise
Typical street scene inside the medieval walls of tiny Riquewihr. This adorable little town is a fun holiday season visit, and I imagine it's just as charming the rest of the year too. It is officially listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France, and has changed little since the 16th century.
I have been quite smitten by this picturesque small town Colmar, popularly known as Le Petite Venise of France, located in Alsace region. A perfect one day trip either from Basel (Switzerland) or Paris. This has the best quaint old multicolored typical wooden houses rowed up on the sides of the canal. It couldn’t have been more perfect for me to be visiting this place during Eastern holiday! Don’t miss out on a boat ride on this canal for 15-20€ totally worth for this shot! Do try their regional variant of crispy pizza if you happen to visit.

Saint Joseph/Mittelharth
Designated as one of France's "Plus Beaux Villages," the picture-perfect village of Eguisheim is nestled in a sunny valley surrounded by the green rolling foothills of the Vosges Mountains. This enchanting medieval village was founded in 720 by the Count Eberhard. Just a short distance from Colmar, this typical Alsatian village has narrow cobblestone streets lined with brightly painted half-timbered houses that date from the 16th and 17th century. Ancient inscriptions can still be deciphered on the stone lintels of the houses. These historic houses feature balconies that are lovingly decorated with potted flowers. Because of its exquisite floral displays, the village has been rewarded with the "Grand Prix National du Fleurissement," France's most prestigious national floral award. Visitors will enjoy wandering through the village, admiring the beauty of the buildings, and the colorful geranium-bedecked window sills.
