Our Colmar Christmas market-ing
7:01 PM
Colmar at Christmas time was magical and freezing.
One of our souvenirs was both of us coming home with intense colds. Bleh.
But it is so charming! Beauty and the Beast, anyone??
The funniest thing about getting to this little town was how many countries surrounded us when we landed in Basel, Switzerland. When we got off the plane, there were two labeled doors: Germany or France. We spent a whole 30 minutes in Switzerland until we passed through the magical gate into France at the train station.
BONUS INFO: there was a special ticket price for travelling to the Christmas markets! It was an open return ticket from Basel train station to Colmar or Strasborg good for 3 days. We saved several euros and it was open for multiple rides, though we didn't take more than the one to and from.

It's just the cutest town. I bet it's darling in other seasons but I'm so glad we got to see it dressed up for Christmas! (pictures of the night version HERE)
Sooo cold....
We took a long walk around town to get all the sights.
Did I mention it was cold? Because it was reeeeally cold.
The Sunflower
Charming stores all dressed up for Christmas. Of course I was drawn to the purple shutters :)
I have so many pictures from a short jaunt we took to a neighbouring town/village that I made a whole post for it. Check out my Eguisheim pictures here
