The 'fairy tale town' in France is too photogenic

Located on the border of northeastern France and Germany, the small town of Colmar, known as the 'Little Venice of France', is where the male and female protagonists of Hayao Miyazaki's 'Howl's Moving Castle' first met, and where the 'Chinese Restaurant 2' program was filmed. With increasing exposure, Colmar has become a fairy tale town that travelers yearn for. Colmar retains the 16th-century architectural style - half-timbered houses, multifaceted roofs built of wood, unique design and color matching, each reflecting the owner's personal taste. The Lauch River, a tributary of the Ill River, quietly flows through Colmar, and the clear river water washes away the impetuous dust. 'Little Venice of France' is not an undeserved reputation. Small bridges and flowing water, quiet narrow lanes, allowing flat-bottomed boats to glide gently. The owners of Colmar are also very French romantic, where the eyes go, all are beautiful flowers embellished. 🌼 Colorful wooden houses, gurgling water, paddling boats, competing flowers... Isn't this a fairy tale world? Enter the fairy tale world, with the scenery like an oil painting, you don't even need to dress up carefully, the moment you press the shutter, you are the person jumping into the painting!
