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.

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

  4. 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.
