[Breathtaking views🇫🇷] A cute world like a fairy tale📖Colmar, the model city for Beauty and the Beast and Howl's Moving Castle🥀

I went to France for the first time in 15 years 🇫🇷This time, I went to Paris and the Alsace-Lorraine region ✨️The most adorable town was Colmar ❤️ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 ┈┈Colmar is said to be the model for Beauty and the Beast and Howl's Moving Castle! It is said that Pfister's house was the model for the old house that appears in Howl's Moving Castle 😌 (See the top of the 7th image) Pl. de l'Ancienne Douane is said to be the model for the town where Belle lived in Beauty and the Beast 🔔 (See the bottom of the 7th image) It's a very cute town with photogenic spots everywhere 📸 The creator of the Statue of Liberty is from Colmar, so there are many Statue of Liberty motifs on the roads 🗽┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 ┈┈Colmar, a city where French and German cultures have fused together due to historical reasons, is truly as cute as a fairy tale land 💕🥺 On the day we visited, La Petite Venice I was surprised by the ridiculous artificial green colour of the river (see the 5th photo), as if someone had added bath salts to it 😳 I later learned that this is not default, but is the result of an environmental protection group spraying dye 😣And apparently this was done on the day I visited...It's an unrealistic colour, but there were lots of fish swimming in the river this colour 🐟Even just walking around the city is a lot of fun ❤️𝕀𝕟𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📍Colmar 🚗Access:🚃About 30 minutes by TER from Strasbourg! 🚄From Paris Gare de l’Est to Colmar station, it takes about 2 hours and 50 minutes by TGV #besttrip2023 #wintertrip #triptoFrance #Colmar #girlstrip #overseastrip

Colmar Old Town

Step into a Ghibli Dream in Colmar Old Town 🌸🏰✨ Colmar Old Town truly feels like wandering through a Studio Ghibli scene—think charming lanes, pastel houses, flower-laden canals, and magical corners that would fit right into Howl’s Moving Castle. 🌈 Recommended Route: Start at Place de la Cathédrale for those iconic half-timbered buildings and wander toward Little Venice (La Petite Venise); you’ll pass fairy-tale storefronts, secret courtyards, and cobblestone paths that are perfect for slow, whimsical strolling. 🎬 Must-Do Experiences: Take a boat ride down the canal—channel Howl drifting along the water! Hunt for local bakeries and try a warm kougelhopf pastry for a taste of Alsace. Pause at the covered market to sample local cheeses and fruits. Picture yourself in a magical market scene! 📸 Insta-Worthy Spots: Snap the pastel houses from the bridge near Little Venice, and capture the reflection of colorful facades in the water—make sure to pose on winding stairs or under archways (for true Ghibli vibes, twirl in a flowy skirt!). Early morning or late afternoon offers dreamy light. 🦄 Visiting Tips & Precautions: Go early or late for quieter streets; weekends get crowded. Comfortable shoes are a must for cobblestone wandering. If it’s rainy, the mist adds pure magic—just bring a light raincoat. Embrace getting lost; the town is small and totally safe, perfect for spontaneous detours. #Colmar #FairytaleTown #GhibliVibes #FranceTravel #HowlsMovingCastle
