Weekend in Alsace - Strasbourg & Colmar

Strasbourg

Paris

In the last few years, I've spent over 5 months in France. My situation is unique because my boyfriend is French, so I often get to explore areas of the country that other travelers might not think to visit. 

Paris is certainly worth experiencing, but the rest of France has so much to offer, too! Spanning as far north as Lille and as far south as Bordeaux, this guide will give you everything you need to experience some of the best areas of France, outside of its capital. 

The best part? I don't plan to stop exploring France anytime soon! I will continue to update this guide with new places as I visit them myself.

I hope this guide inspires and informs your next, or first, trip to this incredible country. Safe travels! 🧳

Petite-France

This little island is one of the best spots to visit on your trip to Strasbourg! It is a preserved neighborhood with tonnes of half-timbered houses. 

Historically, this area was home to the working-class tanners, fishermen, and millers, which really only became a tourist attraction in the 1970s. 

This part of Strasbourg is extra charming. Complete with cobblestone streets, half-timbered buildings, and canals, you'll feel like you're in a fairytale. There is also a lot to do in this area such as restaurants, shopping, and there's even a terrace that offers panoramic views of the city.

Get lost in the most picturesque area in the city: Millers, fishermen and tanners plied their trades in this district of waterways, weirs and locks crowded by black and white half-timbered houses.




Stroll through La Petite France, wander through the picturesque neighborhood. Enjoy the charming half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and scenic canals. 

My favorite neighborhood in Strasbourg! So picturesque and charming. It's even better with holiday decorations!
