Colmar

After Strasbourg I headed south, first to Colmar before going to Lyon. Colmar is a small town... it is similar to Strasbourg, except that it's tiny and is honestly more of a day trip. I was only there for 5 hours, but couldn't stop saying to my friends how cute it was. We had a wonderful lunch, visited the Unterlinden museum and Petite Venise then headed back to the train station en route to Lyon.

If you want the old-world and none of the new, ditch Strasbourg for Colmar because they have a very similar atmosphere and also food (both in the Alsace-Lorraine region bordering Germany). Other than that it was really cold, I don't have to much to say about the city since I was there for only a couple of hours. Expect everything to have a German name, try the Quiche and don't you dare leave without visiting Petite Venise.
