6 Magical Christmas Destinations in France You Need to Visit This Holiday Season
2. Colmar (Alsace)
Colmar is absolutely worth it for Christmas. Its medieval town center, filled with timber-framed houses and narrow, cobbled streets, transforms into a fairy-tale scene with Christmas lights and decorations. Colmar’s Christmas markets are smaller and more intimate than Strasbourg’s but are scattered through different squares, each with its own unique ambiance.
The canals and old buildings are especially picturesque. Colmar's Alsatian blend of French and German holiday traditions gives it an authentic, warm holiday vibe. A cozy, magical experience in a charming, small-town feel.
