Colleen being deeply moved in Riquewihr, resonated. there is usually a moment (or two) when traveling, that i am flooded with emotion; makes things even more special. Thanks for this video, and for sharing that moment.
Same here, we spent one week in Paris and one week in Strasbourg, and Les Frenchies videos were so helpful for our stay in Paris! Thanks so much for all your informative tips! You never steered us wrong!
We also just returned from France two weeks ago. The weather was very cooperated during our stay, from Alsace to Normandy, no rain at all. During our visit to the Alsace, Colmar and Strasbourg, we had flat bread and pork knuckles three nights in a row-)) The pork knuckles were so juicy, tender and tasty! And the portion of the meal was huge, we all needed after whole day strolling around the town:-) We should have rented a car to go more deeper into those smaller villages. We did that during the visit to Normandy, after realized that some of the places could be reached much easier by car. Thank you so much for sharing us with all the information, it's a big help. Best wishes!
Bonjour, au départ je regardais vos vidéos pour perfectionner mon anglais, mais aujourd'hui je les regarde surtout car vous prenez le temps de vivre, et croquez la vie à pleine dents. Cette vidéo en Alsace est sublime, merci beaucoup. J'ADORE
This is a “must watch”. I forwarded it to a friend who is taking his wife to Europe next year. He agreed, must visit Colmar and walk reverently in the footsteps of Les Frenchies.
We have also appreciated Colmar including Hotel Le Maréchal where we have stay twice. Riquewirh is in fact truly magical along the the Castle. The day we visited Haut-Kœnigsbourg like you the castle was in the clouds on arrival but thankfully they cleared when we were at the top and managed to get outstanding photos of the vineyards below with stunning fall colors. So happy you could enjoy.
I was so excited to hear your delightful description of Le Soï! We were there with our American cousins a couple of years ago and were thrilled with the tartes flambées and the accompanying Gewurztraminer. Your trip to Riquewihr and the Haut Koenigsbourg also brought beautiful memories. With Ribeauvillé, they are really some of the world's most enchanting places. Thank you so much, keep 'em coming please!
I think the Alsace is one of the hidden treasures of France, the scenery and architecture is stunning, the cuisine and wines are outstanding and the people really friendly. Colmar is the ideal base for all of the lovely villages.
Bonjour Colleen et Antoine! I enjoy having my Saturday morning breakfast watching your videos about Paris, but your trips out of the city are an extra-special treat. Those towns in the Alsace region, including Strasbourg, do seem magical-très charmant! Thank you for another wonderful video!
I am absolutely thrilled you shared this reigon early, to give your followers enough time to schedule a trip. My family was lucky to have spent Christmas there last year and it was BEYOND magical. We did not make it to Riquewirh, we opted for Strasbourg instead- for the Christmas markets. Chateau du Haute Koenigsbourg was an incredible experience, and we are just so happy to see it on your channel. This was so lovely to watch, thank you!
I love watching you discover my home turf and my favorite wine (Gewurtztraminer !) - and that talking stork 😅 It is truly magical here. Hopefully we will have a chance to connect when you return. Thank you for another fabulous video.
I can associate with Strasbourg and Colmar (I'm looking at my oval pottery dish from there) but I did not know about Riquewirh. It looks awesome. I had a similar flambé on a day trip into Germany. Thanks for the video!
I have always considered Colmar to be a tourist magnet but never a trap. In any place tourists get trapped by going to obvious tourist places. But as The Frenchies showed, there are plenty of places of quality apparently easily available. I like that in this video they persevere through the rain. Not every place has perfect weather every time you visit. Makes their venture even more authentic.
If you visit France you should definitely visit Alsace. It's beautiful and the food and wines OMG. It's very crowded before Christmas time because of the Christmas markets but it's worth it.
OMG...watching this..I can sense my ancestors! The scenery is superb, the food excites my stomach..and my pores start seeping when I hear the word riesling! Thank you so much for this sweet, endearing few days away from the crowds...
Wow, wow and more wow! What a stunningly picturesque adventure in Alsace. Definitely a side - trip from Paris. And what a happy accident to find restaurant Bord'eau ! That is exactly what travel is all about --- the random hotel or restaurant or shop that makes it all worthwhile. Thanks a million, as always, Colleen and Antoine from New York City with my second cup of coffee on a chilly Saturday morning !
I stayed there many years ago and it was awesome! We just happened to see live music in the center with dancing. A festival atmosphere with everyone dressed up in colorful costumes. it lasted for hours. We also rode bikes in a wine village in Eguisheim and had a steak lunch there. Fairytale. Also from Colmar we took a day trip to Strasbourg. In my living room I have three watercolor paintings on the wall of these three cities. One of my fondest memories not of France but all Europe.
aaaahh Frenchies, you bring back such beautiful memories of these two magical towns in beautiful Alsace💖 the whole region is incredible and the wine, oh THE WINE! to die for♥
Do yourselves a favor and visit the same area before Christmas. Magical. Simply magical. Thank you so much for showing us my favorite towns in all of France.
Merci beaucoup Les Frenchies! My husband and I have been to the Christmas markets in Germany and Austria and in a couple of weeks, we are going to Alsace to check out the Christmas markets there. This video could not have been better timed. I can already smell the Gluwein! I would love to see a video on the French Christmas markets. Love your channel!
Yes, I can confirm : I lived in Albi for 7 years as a child. The contrast between the outside (brick fortress) of the cathedral and the inside is mind blowing. It is also said to be the biggest brick building in the world.

You have to come back there (Riquewihr, Colmar,Eguisheim) for christmas market you won't believe your eyes. And if you have time, go to Europa Park (which is 50 km away), one of the best, if not the best amusement park in the world and which at Christmas time becomes absolutely magical
Hurray, we just visited Alsace a month ago and took a day trip from Strasbourg to Colmar (only 30 min by train!). We loved both cities, and found Colmar to be charming and perfect for strolling. Their farmers market was incredible, and we love the Alsace wines as well. I took so many photos, around every corner there was another beautiful photo op!
Bonjour, j’habite en Alsace et je suis fan de la Bourgogne 🥰 Nos régions sont pleines de beauté, d’authenticité, de charme et que dire de la gastronomie 😅
Hello , this is Franck from the Toulouse blog. Amazing job, this video and region is great and magnificent. Greetings, Franck from the Toulouse blog ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This makes me so, so excited for your videos over the next two months. I assume (hope?) we’ll get lots of Christmas market, village type videos. Please go back in the spring. I personally would LOVE it if you guys branched out and showed us the towns of France. No one does a better job than you guys do. ❤ Oh also, please tell me you bought the “Allez, on y va!” bird! 😂
We will be driving from Dijon to Strasbourg in September next year, so we will definitely be stopping in Colmar for a bite to eat and explore after seeing this.
I had forgotten that Fredrick Agustva Bartoldhi was from Colmar. Besides the original Statue in NYC, there are many other smaller Statue of liberty models. One on the Seine river near the Eiffel tower and a 42 foot model near the rainbow bridge in Japan!!!! 🗽
🎵🎤…The weather outside is frightful but the fire is so delightful…🎼🎄🎅 that circular staircase at the castle… spectacular! That stew is huge! What was your dish called, Antoine? It looks delicious! I just love watching your episodes! So good.
Visited Haut Koenigsbourg 30 years ago and this brought back so many fun memories. We had crazy weather too! Sunny, then cloudy, then sunny, then snow! All at the castle!
Merci Merci Merci... J'espère passer quelques semaines à Paris l'an prochain. You just gave me wonderful ideas about getting away for a few days to Alsace. You guys are amazing.
Beautiful place and lovely video!… we have ancestors that are from this area and so this is definitely a place that we will come to in the near future! Thank-you
Within a few days you will have the traditional Christmas markets in Colmar, Strasbourg, … they are real Christmas markets existing since many centuries….
Hey! You cut us of the video hahaha😂. We met at Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg, really nice seen you (didn't expect you outside of Paris😮). Great video of the merveilleuse Alsace 🥰 Our one week there was magical... and rainy😅
Bonjour! I spent an enjoyable three-weeks holiday in Alsace, France, during late November and early December 2023. Wonderful memories of Strasbourg, Selestat, Colmar, and Chateau de Haut-Koenigsbourg. These locations are true Christmas fantasies! Delicious foods throughout the Christmas markets. I am surprised you did not mention the Alsatian picon beer. I tried it and LOVED it!
I am so glad to see this video ! Thank you so much ! ❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ( although i wish you hadn't compared the villages to Disney.) I visited the Castle of Haut Koenisbourg when i was a child and the only thing i remember is this green dragon on the ceiling which scared me ! At the beginning of the video : Colleen, after having a few glasses of wine, you will perfectly say Gewurztraminer und Flammekueche ! 😂 😂😂😂
J'adore vos vidéos , je vous conseille durant les marchés de Noël de faire Colmar , Riquewihr , kaysersberg , Ribeauvillé et Eguisheim , tous dans le même coin ( un bus vous permet de faire les quatre premiers sans prendre votre voiture à certaines dates ). Encore Merciiiiiiiiii pour votre amour de la France. ( 2013 Eguisheim et 2017 Kaysersberg élus Villages préférés des Français )
I truly thank you for showing an area of France that has me so intrigued. I’ve shared this video with my family and we’re all looking forward to visiting next time we’re there. Superb!
Hello 👋 ☺️! In September 2022, I had a chance to take a Rhine River Cruise. This was an excursion location. It was absolutely beautiful. The walking town offers beautiful architecture, colors, and history. You MUST wear COMFORTABLE walking shoes. Most of Europe remains with cobble stone streets, which can be uneven & tricky to navigate. You will thoroughly enjoy visiting this storybook location. All the best!! 😊
@robinps52 Hello Robin 👋 ☺️!! My river cruise started in Amsterdam. We opted for a 2 day "walking tour" stay in Amsterdam and thought it was fascinating. Our water travels offered many historical and picturesque sites. There were a few stops along the Rhine Valley where they grew the grapes for Reisling wine, Cologne Germany, and the Alsace Region in France. Our water trip ended in Basel Switzerland. We extended our trip and took several walking tours throughout Lucerne and Zurich Switzerland. We did visit part of the Alps. It had snowed the night before. The air was fresh, crisp, and clean. Depending on what time of year, prepare with a good coat, hat, and gloves. Many pictures came home with us, along with memorable souvenirs. I hope you will enjoy this wonderful part of Europe. The visiting churches were absolutely fantastic.
I loved Colmar, I only had one day in Alsace, I spent all morning at Colmar and at noon I went to Eguisheim, a village that I completely fell in love with. On my next visit I will make sure to stay in Alsace for at least 4 or 5 days to see more of the medieval villages around.
❤ Thank You So Much Podařilo se mi , nastavit titulky , i když nejsou v mé rodné řeči, Děkuji za Vaše videa , věřím že v brzké době, si budu užívat vsech skvělých a dobrých delikates a poznávání Francie ❤
"Bord'eau" is the owners lower grade restaurant, his upper class restaurant at Colmar with two Michelin stars where he is also the chef is "JY's". In the past before returning in his home town the chef and owner runned two french restaurants in NYC. A nice address for fine local food is the brasserie Maison des Têtes
Alsace is my favorite part of France! Driving the Rue du Vin for a few days is like a trip to a charming past. Everything is half German and half French because of how often this area has ping ponged between those countries, depending on who won the last war, so Alsace is unique and wonderful. And Alsatian white wine is the only white wine I will drink (I prefer red).

Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for this absolutely wonderful video. What a quaint charming village. The architectural heritage is amazingly beautiful.
Fun fact. There's a tropical Colmar Village in Pahang, Malaysia. It's inspired by the Colmar Village in France.
Our pleasure!
how fun!!

Another winner! I watched it three times whilst working out this morning, LOL!
Wow, thank you so much!!
The view from the castle is amazing! You must go back. We really enjoyed this area a few years ago. Highly recommend.
By the way, the name Disney is just an anglification of a french name : D'Isigny, like the town in normandy
Very true!!
I'll be visiting Colmar/Alsace Christmas markets in December. Looks magical! Thank you for the lovely tour! I can't wait!
Les marchés de Noël à Kaysersberg , Ribeauvillé, éguisheim plus petit mais moins commercial.

Riquewihr is my absolutely village. We were there last Christmas,but moved through quickly. Absolutely love this village
Colmar is beautiful and I love the local cuisine. Elsässer Flammkuchen is so common in Germany and I often make it for my family
It's so good!
Thanks! Absolutely spectacular locations. Living vicariously through these videos🎉
So glad you're enjoying them. Thank you!
Love, love this video! ❤ Loved the villages, the castle, the food and the little duck😂!

And Alsatian white wine is the only white wine I will drink (I prefer red).
The Pinot Noir was amazing!!
