  • What a privilege to travel to France during Christmas time, experience their culture and history, and bask in the beauty of shared appreciation for Christmas goodness. Come for the markets and charming small village vibes, and stay for the tarte flambée, crêpes, & gourmet market.
    We're Andrew and Kait - we share travel tips to help you see the world and have the best vacations ever. If you daydream about a European holiday as often as we do, keep watching to join us for a 6 city tour of some of the best Christmas markets in Europe.
    To start our Christmas adventure the day before American thanksgiving, we’re flying from Dallas, Texas to Zurich, Switzerland where we’re taking trains to the cities of Basel, Colmar, Strasbourg, Frankfurt, and Cologne before coming back to Zurich and flying home in time for Christmas.

    You are so correct on Colmar streets being so winding. Easy to get lost. We visited in October years ago and Christmas last year. Worth a visit any time of year.

    This is a great video. It really helped my wife and I navigate the Colmar Christmas Markets over the weekend. (We had the Ballotine, by the way, although we didn't recall seeing it in the video.) We live part-time in France (near Geneve), and made the 3.5 hour trek to Colmar just for the Markets. It is truly magical! We have visited many Christmas Markets in France and Switzerland; but this is the best by far. Why? It is very beautiful - day and night. The old buildings and narrow streets are extremely charming. There is a lot to see, do, buy and eat. And . . . Colmar is easy to get to and navigate - unlike the bigger cities. A big thumbs-up on the Markets and the video. Oh . . . if you're staying overnight, make your hotel reservations well in advance.

    I was in Strasbourg in 2019 and heard good things about Colmar but did not get there. So thanks for this video. I did buy a pottery dish made in Colmar while in Strasbourg. I'll be looking for your Strasbourg video!

    Hi! We're coming to Colmar and Strasbourg next week. Do the vendors at the markets accept credit cards or do they want cash? 🤔

    • @AndrewandKait
      @AndrewandKait  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So exciting! You’re going to love it. Most take cash for anything is under €20 euros. If it’s €20 or more, they’ll typically take card! We actually just published a travel guide to both Colmar & Strasbourg with helpful tips for first time visitors. Hope it helps and that you have an awesome trip! andrewandkait.com/2022/11/27/colmar-christmas-guide

    did you find colmar or straßburg better ? :-) have to decide on one

    • @AndrewandKait
      @AndrewandKait  ปีที่แล้ว

      We liked Strasburg more than Colmar overall. Colmar was crowded and had less Christmas markets. Both are great, but we would definitely go with Strasburg.
