Episode of Christmas market in Colmar

We could find many Alsatian specialties in Christmas market in Colmar [French: Marché de noël de Colmar]. Artisans sold them in the wooden houses. We could find many good things as a souvenir.
We found very pretty Alsatian paintings. We could understand how Alsatian people lived in the past through the painting. Alsatian costumes were cute too. We can find such painting only in Alsace. It could be a precious souvenir.
Alsatian potteries are also very famous! Alsatian potteries are most appropriate to prepare Alsatian specialties such as Choucroute or Kougelhopf. Tomo&Chouchou bought Alsatian pottery in Alsace.
The yellow candle sculptures of various shapes were so wonderful. It's even nice to put as a Christmas decoration.
Of course, we could find foods in Christmas market too. Cheese and French dried sausage "saucisson" were sold in the market.
Of course, alcoholic drink was sold too. Tomo&Chouchou were surprised to see eggnog (tamagozake in Japanese) in France! Because we thought Tamagozake existed only in Japan. It was wrong! Old people think in the same way probably. French eggnog is egg-milk mixed with fruits liqueurs such as raspberry,blueberry, European pear, cherry, or French brandy "Cognac". There were many varieties and everything looked tasty!
Instead of eggnog, we drank Hot wine in Christmas market. We always tasted hot wine in each Christmas market. It's not same taste all the time. So it's interesting to discover the difference of the taste. :)

Episode of Chrismas Market in Colmar

Tomo&Chouchou present Christmas market in Colmar [Marché de Noël de Colmar] in Alsace in France !
Colmar is located about 70 km south of Strasbourg. Colmar was not so damaged during the war, so still now a row of houses of Middle Ages remains in Colmar. Christmas market in Colmar is not so big as Christmas market in Strasbourg,but Marché de Noël de Colmar is popular and famous especially amoung local people.
Colmar Christmas market was cozy and very cute as fairy-tale.
So Tomo&Chouchou strongly recommend Colmar Christmas market!

When we approached to the Christmas market area in Colmar, we found several placards. Placards kindly told us which way to go in Christmas market in Colmar. So it was easy to find Christmas market place. Moreover, there was a map which told where Christmas market was, or highlights of Christmas market. It was very kind for tourists. Mainly, Christmas market took place around the Old Town. It was easy to walk and easy to look around !
The area around Place de l'ancienne douane had many Christmas decorations. Tomo&Chouchou found it was the prettiest place of Christmas market in Colmar. It was very like a fairy-tale! Colmar was like a toy box! We felt we were in a dream.
While walking around Colmar, we could also enjoy very cute Alsatian houses.
St. Martin church (Cathédrale Saint-Martin) is located in the center of the city.
St. Martin church is Gothic church with coloured tile roof. It was very beautiful.
Everything was pretty in Colmar. The size of Christmas market was not so big as Strasbourg but it was very organized beautifully. More than anything, it was very fantastic, cute, pretty and warm-taste. Christmas market in Colmar is one of our favorite Christmas markets.
