On the ‘last of the spring bridges with Z I discover that no, Colmar is fairy tale-like perhaps for many, not for me. That does not take away from the fact that it deserves to be visited. Many come here for the Christmas markets, which I detest, so much better in spring with the vines filling the surrounding hills. Absolutely must go to the surrounding villages as well.

Maybe Colmar is fairy tale-like, but I post the almost live video, of Ribeauville

Below is the video shot in Ribeauville, but I could have done the same in any of the other villages nearby, all of which are very nice.

This is the article of my travel plans for 2025 where I explain why Z bridges.

Finally, here are all the almost live videos I have taken on various trips.
