After Milan I made my way to Colmar. I saw a picture of Colmar and I thought it was so charming that I must visit it and experience it for myself. So when I inspected my map while I was deciding where else to visit near Milan, I landed on Colmar. Colmar is an old medieval town filled with half timbered buildings. I happen to be visiting at the end of their spring/easter celebration where they had decorations all over town along with artisanal vendors selling local goods. I cannot even imagine who adorable this town is during Christmas time.
Being a provincial town, Colmar shuts down by 6PM unless it's a restaurant. So there is not much to do except for enjoying a quaint provincial town. I you get a car, you can then drive to other charming provincial towns and wineries nearby. There are also some hiking trails as well. In retrospect, I should have gotten a car. C'est la vie.
Enroute...
Colmar is so ridiculously charming that I kept singing Beauty and the Beast songs while I was there. Because clearly only Gaston, Beast and gnomes live there. Here is a glimpse of provincial life.
