Colmar

France · Alsatian historic town

Colmar is a beautifully preserved Alsatian town in eastern France, where half-timbered houses line cobbled lanes and flower-lined canals. Centuries of Germanic and French influence show in the old quarter's architecture, the Petite Venise canals, and the Unterlinden museum, and its 49 hotels range from boutique conversions to full-service spa properties.
