Colmar

The first and last parts of our two week sojourn into France were spent in Colmar where Malcolm's parents lived for 5 years about 30 years ago.  We stayed in a beautiful house overlooking a lovely garden and canal.  It was a very pretty town to wander through and taste some great wine and food.  

We took a drive along the Route des Vins and visited some lovely towns with cobblestoned streets and medieval timber framed houses, enjoying a glass (or two) of Alsatian white wine.  Two weeks in France and I think I have turned half goat and half duck as I mainly wanted the goat's cheese and the amazingly cooked duck.  Each morning Malcolm would get fresh baguettes for breakfast/lunch. 

 

On the return visit to Colmar on the way back to Munich the owner of the house we were staying was home with her grandchild.  One of her sons has a canal boat business and took us out for wine and a cruise before we headed off for dinner.  Their hospitality was fantastic.
