Settled in Alsace

Got away from Beaune not long after the Langfords for the drive north-east to Alsace and our four night stay in a Colmar. The earlier start got us to the beautiful village of Eguisheim in time for lunch.
The walk into the village quickly revealed the fairytale nature of the place - it was used for Beauty and the Beast after all!
We had lunch of the local specialty of Tarte Flambé in the main square where several stork nests sat high on the church roof and spire currently occupied by families of storks. The walk around the circular streets inside the ramparts was fascinating. The colourful half timbered houses were covered in flowers and were well loved. Easy to see why it is classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France.
Had a nice wine tasting at Wolfberger where the tasting list was the largest I have ever seen. Just tried a few and picked up a couple of bottles for our stay.
Rain had begun to fall as we met our host Marie at our apartment. It is located right on top of the canal of this main picture spot in Colmar. It is also the most beautifully appointed apartment of the trip. We decided to take advantage with dinner at home while watching tourists on the bridge and a Chinese cooking show being filmed just over the bridge. Loving Alsace.
