Views of Colmar, “Little Venice” and its charming canals and German half-timber buildings.
In the morning we leave for the best preserved small city of Colmar, which is also one of the most popular attractions in Alsace. In the heyday of the 16th century Colmar prospered as a trading post and busy river port where wine traders transported wine along the canals in the district now called "Little Venice." The canal near the tannery area is the most beautiful landscape in the city. Colmar is famous for its wine too.
However, in addition to its charming aroma of wine, the German half-timbered houses here contribute to the uniqueness of Colmar. Famous among them is the Adolf house, the oldest in Colmar.
Then, we take the special train to go to Montreux, famous for its Montreux Jazz Festival all over the world.
