Colmar Christmas Market – France

Another day in beautiful Alsace and another Christmas Market tour. I mentioned it before in all objectivity, we, Alsatians, are excellent at throwing Christmas related events, it is our thing and we are great at it (#Alsacianandproud).

We also use our anniversary as an opportunity to slowly […]
