点评:If you want to step directly into a living storybook, Colmar is the place to go. It feels like a beautifully preserved slice of pure Alsatian culture, where German and French influences blend into something truly magical.
Walking through the old town is a visual feast. Signature Alsatian timber-framed houses line the cobblestone streets in an explosion of pastel pinks, mint greens, and warm yellows. You quickly notice the unique details—intricate wooden balconies, heavy shutters, and steep roofs. The historic monuments carry immense character, from the stunning Maison Pfister with its wraparound wooden gallery, to the towering Collégiale Saint-Martin (St. Martin's Church), built with striking pinkish-red sandstone and a colorful, glazed tile roof that catches the sunlight perfectly.
You cannot visit Colmar without exploring La Petite Venise (Little Venice). The absolute best way to experience it is by taking a flat-bottomed boat tour down the Lauch River, drifting past flower-draped waterfront houses.
Right in this fairytale setting, I had an unforgettable dinner at Wistub de la Petite Venise. It is exactly what you want from an authentic, cozy Alsatian tavern—wooden paneling, vintage decor, and incredibly warm service. I tried the excellent Bœuf Gros Sel (a traditional, tender boiled beef served with coarse salt) and paired it with a local Muscat d'Alsace—a dry white wine that is extremely aromatic and fruit-forward. Absolutely delicious!
One of the coolest discoveries in Colmar is learning just how proud the town is of its most famous son: Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, the visionary sculptor who created the Statue of Liberty. His presence is felt everywhere. You can visit the Bartholdi Museum, housed right in his birthplace, which displays his original sketches and models. Throughout the town, look down at your feet—there are little brass Lady Liberty triangles embedded in the cobblestones to guide you through the historic walking route. There is even a 12-meter-tall replica of the statue standing proudly in a roundabout at the northern entrance of town!
Go there "toute de suite"! It is an absolute must-visit for your travel bucket list.
翻译:如果你想置身于一个活生生的故事书世界中,科尔马绝对是理想之选。这里宛如一幅保存完好的阿尔萨斯文化画卷,德国与法国的文化元素在此交融,营造出一种如梦似幻的氛围。
漫步在老城区,简直是一场视觉盛宴。那些独具特色的阿尔萨斯式木框架房屋沿着鹅卵石街道错落有致地排列着,淡粉色、薄荷绿和暖黄色交织出一幅绚丽的画面。你还会注意到许多独特的细节——精雕细琢的木制阳台、厚重的百叶窗……陡峭的屋顶。这些历史古迹各具特色:从拥有环绕式木制游廊的精美绝伦的 Pfister 宅邸,到用粉红色红砂岩砌成、拥有色彩缤纷的釉面瓦屋顶的宏伟的圣马丁教堂——那屋顶在阳光下熠熠生辉。
来到科尔马,绝对不能错过“小威尼斯”。体验它的绝佳方式便是乘坐平底船沿劳赫河泛舟游览。小船缓缓驶过那些被鲜花环绕的滨水小屋。
就在这片如童话般美丽的环境中,我在Wistub de la Petite Venise享用了一顿难忘的晚餐。这家小酒馆完全符合人们对地道的阿尔萨斯风格酒馆的所有期待:木质护墙板、复古的装饰风格,还有无比热情周到的服务。我品尝了美味的“粗盐炖牛肉”(一道用粗盐调味的传统嫩牛肉菜肴),并搭配了一杯当地的阿尔萨斯麝香白葡萄酒——这款干型白葡萄酒香气馥郁,果味十足。绝对美味极了!
在科尔马最令人惊喜的发现之一就是:这座小镇为自己最著名的儿子——弗雷德里克-奥古斯特·巴托尔迪深感自豪。巴托尔迪是一位富有远见的雕塑家,正是他创造了自由女神像。他的影响无处不在:你可以参观坐落于他出生地的巴托尔迪博物馆,那里陈列着他的原始草图和模型。在整个镇上……低头看看你的脚下吧——鹅卵石路面上嵌着许多小小的黄铜制“自由女神三角标志”,它们能指引你沿着这条具有历史意义的步行路线前行。在小镇北入口处的环岛上,还矗立着一座高达12米的自由女神像复制品呢!
立刻前往吧!这绝对是你旅行清单上不容错过的景点。
