Colmar

Wednesday 18th September 2024.

Day 5

We left Metz this morning, filled up with fuel and hit the motorway for a 147 mile drive to Colmar. We are staying on a motorhome stopover at Port de Plaisance for 17 euros a night. After lunch we all walked into Colmar arriving first in “ Little Venice.”

We love this type of architecture and people of France are lucky that so much of it has survived and is maintained well.

We walked on from this area to a park with beautiful fountains, they must have made us thirsty as we had to stop for a beer to refresh ourselves.

From here we headed back into the old town heading for the cathedral which of course I dutifully sat outside, the cathedral was surrounded by buildings so it was difficult to take a photo that did it justice.

The streets from here were lined with old buildings and of course for this area as tradition dictates there had to be a Christmas shop.

As we walked back through Little Venice it was late afternoon and feeling somewhat weary we headed back to the van for the evening.
