Colmar (68 Haut-Rhin, Alsace) is one of the prettiest Alsatian towns in the heart of the vineyards, half-timbered buildings also known as a “little Venice” – and is an ideal setting for a Christmas market. It has one of the largest pedestrian-only areas and the whole area is bedecked with Christmas lights, decorated shop windows, Christmas stalls.<\/p>\n

First of all there\u2019s the ambiance of the Old Town, illuminated and decorated like a fairy tale : a historic setting made magical by the Christmas illuminations which, in this festive period, blend harmoniously with the wonderful lighting designed to enhance the town\u2019s heritage, and lay a soothing aura of light over the centre of Colmar.
\nTown centre which is essentially pedestrian, comprises numerous architectural treasures such as monuments, churches, museums and alleys, built for the most imposing from Middle Age to 19th century. Do not miss to be amazed by the Maison Pfister, the Ko\u00effhus, Unterlinden museum, Little Venice, the House of the Heads and Saint Martin Collegiate church.
\nThe whole town is decorated like a dream to turn the old centre into a veritable open-air theatre where the warm Christmas mood envelops the heart of the town.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For 2007 the festivities run from 24 November to 31 December 2007 – for more info see www.ot-colmar.fr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
