Driving in Colmar

When driving near Colmar, France, you'll come across many interesting things:


-A roadside Buffalo Grill complete with a Native American as a mascot.


-Endless "toutes directions" signs, encouraging you that no matter what, you can't be going the wrong way.


-Lady Liberty*, greeting you in the middle of a roundabout. If you can't get enough of the novelty, no problem, just keep circling.

*The Lady Liberty creator, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, was born in Colmar, thus the reason for the hulking highway statue.

Oh my I've been meaning to go to Colmar! Is driving there the best means? I was thinking of taking the train.

and OUI, those "toutes directions signs," my goodness - they can be so comforting, yet so full of empty promises too ! Attention !

You could take the train to Colmar, but the most charming cities are the small ones surrounding it and those are best reached by car.
