This beauty outside of the magnificent Colmar is one of the most darling villages I visited 3 weeks ago during my travel in the South of France. The presence of storks nesting atop various roofs within the 😮village perhaps was one of the most fascinating things to see in Eguisheim. … it is unforgettable !❤

You're pronouncing it wrong. It's Egis heim. Don't pronounce the 'u'. Didn't you speak to any residents? They could have corrected you.

Cheers thanks for the heads up, I'll know for next time 👍
