Alsace - French Region
The northeastern French region of Alsace changed between French and German hands a few times, and remains a cultural mix of the two countries.
Villages alsaciens
Alsace might just be my favorite region in France - its many "Most Beautiful Villages" are a riot of color and cuteness.
Colmar, France
With its colorful half-timbered houses, winding roads, and flowers everywhere, the old part of Colmar is ridiculously cute.
Unterlinden Museum, Colmar
The Unterlinden Museum is housed in a 13th-century convent with a very beautiful cloister and displays the Isenheim Altarpiece in the chapel.
