I was there in 2019 for christmas and absolutely fell in love with this place. On those canals, they had school kids riding boats at night with lanterns, and santa was in one! Was very interesting.
This video has just put a HUGE smile on my face!! I'm from Alsace, and I had so much fun seing you guys discovering those places that are so familiar to me!! And yes, the region is indeed very magical around Christmas time! (yet very crowded because of the many visitors + locals wondering around!) I never write comments, so I might as well say it here: thank you so much for documenting and sharing all your adventures! I've been following you since 2017, and I have to say that you always bring a little something special to my day, and inspire me to continue traveling as much as possible. I wish you the very best for your upcoming adventures ❤
@@flyingthenest yes!! Ribeauvillé, Riquewihr, Eguisheim and Kaysersberg (the "route des vins" (literally "wine road") -> all of those villages are picture perfect like Colmar and Strasbourg, but they are smaller in size, and there are many vineyards all around 😊 You can also go up to the Château de Haut-Koenigsburg if you want to have a look from a higher spot! Enjoy 😋
@@annecatherineschlosser2400 I’ve been there…. I lost the count on how many times we went in Alsace lol during Christmas time, in summer, september, with and without the kids… those places are always magical to me, they have a special spot in my heart!❤️ can’t wait to go back again!!!! For now, I'm satisfy to sniff the phone and expect to smell the good smell of pan d'epices, tarte alsacienne and bretzel…🤤🤤 Enjoy your travel(and the food hehe) there, greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Hey everyone! and welcome back to our Epic European Summer Adventure - we are here in our final country of France before we head onto a brand new adventure :) hope you have all been enjoying the vlogs so far!
As someone who live there and see those building every day, I sure don't feel as excited to see them, but I'm happy to see that our cities look great to foreigner!
Colmar looks absolutely magical-definitely something straight out of a fairytale! I've really enjoyed your European series so far and can't wait to see where you are going next afterwards!
I love their “pizza” - in Paris there is a place called Flams in Monteparnasse who do these. Our favourite is the one that has potato, onion, bacon and cheese. We make it at home now - the cream is crème fraise with a touch of nutmeg, then slices of par cooked potato, bacon, caramelised onions, and Gruyère.
I sure enjoyed seeing your trip to a part of France I never visited. I was once very surprised when on a Go Ahead company Jewels of the Alpine tour to visit countries in their Alps region we visited Annency along Lake Annency and really enjoyed seeing that city.
Can't believe those settings in France were inspired in Beauty and the Beast. So nice you all got to witness a fairytale in person 😍🥰🤩 Hunter is so cute ☺️
How exciting to bump in to you in the mall today! I commented on your videos way back when I started following you while I was still In South Africa, stuck there due to Covid. Lamenting about how Covid was preventing us all from being with our families. Well I’m here now! Finally in Australia with my family, for good! 😃. Looking forward to your next adventure. You three are a joy to watch. Hunter is such a bright button! ❤
🤩🤗🥰thank you thank you thank you for visiting France it’s my favorite country in Europe so far and I’m obsessed. Thank you for posting this and I can’t wait to see the next two French touring videos!
Beautiful! We stayed in Strasbourg. The cathedral does a light show at night which was amazing! We had the Tarte Flambee as well for lunch! Now, I want to go to Colmar!
I love the Chocolate Box Houses and the town. My family will have go the some day. You are incredible parents for Hunter. You're my favorite show on TH-cam. Much love to you all. ❤ 😍
How fun would it be for Hunter to go back years later and find your family's love lock on the bridge. I love architecture, just added Colmar and Strasbourg to my bucket list.
This video was perfect - I am taking my daughter to Strasbourg for Christmas and then a stopover in Colmar - a very different Christmas than an Aussie one. Thank you for sharing these towns/cities.
I agree, come back for the Christmas Markets. My favorite one is in Colmar. It’s so stunning….I try to go every year as I don’t live too far away in Switzerland
So nice to see you in my country ! I visited the christmas markets last year, my brother lived in strasbourg at the time so i did this one and colmar. Colmar at christmas is absolutely incredible, it looks straight out of a theme park 🤯
the bretzels looked delicious. this place looks like something out of a fairytale or story book! what a scenic boat ride wow 😍 you made us so hungry eating that delicious pizza!
Introduced us to a place I did not know needed to be on my bucket list! Stunning! Next fall we will be in the Normandy & Brittany areas, but it looks like we may be having to add another trip back to France. ❤❤
Looks like you stayed in the same place as us. It was an old building attached to a very old church and I remember a bakery across the street. You showed it for a sec in the video. Oh Colmar is a very memorable town! Thanks for brining my memories back!
You have such a Beautiful family, Hunter is so very smart, especially for her age. Amazing 😍 such a cutie pie. You are all very much Loved. Coming from the U.S. In Michigan
We absolutely love watching your family!! We only wish your videos were longer and more frequent! ❤Thanks for sharing your life with all of us! You bring SO much joy to others lives!
You tried some of the best culinary treats the Alsace has to offer. I really appreciate that you always try regional specialties! I subscribed after watching an episode about, if I'm not mistaking, Icelandic food, a couple of years ago, and look forward to your posts ever since. Thank you so much!
@@flyingthenest That's how I discovered you too! I've been following your travels ever since & you've opened up my eyes to so many places that are now on my bucket list ☺
I felt so proud you guys visited that part of my country where I lived the first 20 years of my life…so many memories came to my mind…I love your videos…Hunter does not know how lucky she is and cannot yet appreciate visiting countries and traditions… for her right now it is very simple, everything is all about going from Cho Cho trains to parks, playgrounds, foods, and having as much fun as possible. I wonder if you will be able to travel once she will start school.
Our family descendants of Germany had a family reunion in Wiesbaden in 2005. Half of us spent a day in Strasbourg it was magical🤠❤️. Still wear a small cross I bought there.
Lol as a French we have lots of those hidden gems we don’t like to share 😂 until you came along 😮!!!! I’m actually surprised you did not go to Strasbourg for the Christmas market as it is where it originates from! I believe it’s the biggest one in Europe and I know you are such big fans of Christmas and always make a big fuss over the holiday celebrations year after year! Anyway have fun in beautiful France Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
So agree Jess what a place to visit for Christmas ❤ Seen photos looks absolutely Breathtaking . Awesome video yes sure looks like a Fairytale house are beautiful 😍 . The more merry go rounds there are the higher Hunter excitement, just so so sweet ❤ & Trains 😅 Looking forward to to your next videos aww be sad seeing your European trip come to an end But No doubt you have some other exciting adventures planned 🥰 Have a Good Week 🥰
Are you willing to share where you stayed in Colmar if you would recommend it? We'll likely be in that are next summer with a 4-year old! Thanks for your videos- they are a constant source of inspiration for us, and our daughter LOVES Hunter. :)
So nice you came back to France😊 I am French and I live in the South-East, city of Salon-de-Provence near Marseille. Thanks for making me discover these beautiful cities in my own country 😍 I don’t think I will go someday or maybe when I am old, for now I prefer visiting other countries 🙃
Strasbourg is known as the Capital of Christmas so you guys should definitely check it out when the Christmas markets open up! Have been several times as I live in the area and it is worth it 100%.
Hunter is such a bright girl
Be hard not to be with these spectacular parents & this incredible childhood! Love them 👍
One of my favorite places. We had the best time in Strasbourg and Colmar about 5 years ago. I'm dying to go back and stay a little longer.
So glad you visited!!
We spent a weekend at The Colmar Christmas Market, now that was simply magical 🎅🏼🎄
So glad you enjoyed it xx
aww so jealous I am sure its even more magical at Christmas!!
Been there last year at Christmas time. The whole village is decorated with lights. Magic!
im sure it is!!
I was there in 2019 for christmas and absolutely fell in love with this place. On those canals, they had school kids riding boats at night with lanterns, and santa was in one! Was very interesting.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the architecture! Especially those half timber houses!
You three should definitely come back for Christmas. The Alsace Region is famous for its Christmas Markets.
This video has just put a HUGE smile on my face!! I'm from Alsace, and I had so much fun seing you guys discovering those places that are so familiar to me!!

This place is so beautiful. I honestly can not wait to visit this area.
Can't believe those settings in France were inspired in Beauty and the Beast. So nice you all got to witness a fairytale in person 😍🥰🤩 Hunter is so cute ☺️
Such beautiful scenery on the gondola ride, then the onion pie, oh looks so good.
The onion pie was surprisingly so tasty!’
Colmar at Christmas is AMAZING!!! You MUST go!
