Places to see in ( Colmar - France )
Colmar is a town in the Grand Est region of northeastern France, near the border with Germany. Its old town has cobblestone streets lined with half-timbered medieval and early Renaissance buildings. The Gothic 13th-century, Eglise Saint-Martin church stands on central Place de la Cathédrale. The city is on the Alsace Wine Route, and local vineyards specialize in Riesling and Gewürztraminer wines.
The city offers visitors a fascinating insight into 1,000 years of European history through its exceptional heritage. Wonderfully preserved from the ravages of time, its homogenous historical centre is classed as a 'protected area' and has benefited from careful restoration and ongoing improvements for more than 25 years.
Colmar is really a condensed version of the Alsace region. Walking in its streets is like visiting à huge movie set with hundreds of century-old half-timbered houses, lovely canals and flourished pedestrian town center. The city has an impressive selection of quality restaurants and shops selling high-quality local products.
Colmar is also the capital of Alsace wines and is nestled at the foot of the vineyard next to many idyllic villages. The city hosts the annual Wine Fair of Alsace in august, that has gone through six decades. This event gathers approximately 300 000 people during 15 days of music, party and wine tasting.
The city with multicolored houses is also the birthplace of sculptor Bartholdi, father of the famous Statue of Liberty in New York and of Hansi, the well known illustrator of Alsace. The culture vultures will complete their visit by one of its 5 museums. We especially suggest to visit the Unterlinden Museum to discover and admire its wonderful Issenheim Altarpiece or the Toy Museum, if you’re looking for something to do with your kids.

Colmar: Die Hauptstadt des elsässischen Weines
Die Vorzüge der hübschen Stadt Colmar wie Fachwerkhäuser, Kanäle und das mit Blumen geschmückte Stadtzentrum sind weltberühmt. Alle Komponenten des idyllischen Elsass sind hier vereint und die Hauptstadt des elsässischen Weines ist Hüterin einer Lebensart, die es zu entdecken lohnt!
Sie verbindet die Intimität einer Kleinstadt mit einem eindrucksvollen Reichtum an Kulturerbe. Die Geburtsstadt des berühmten Bildhauers Bartholdi, Schöpfer der berühmten Freiheitsstatue, ist auch der Geburtsort von Hansi, dem weltbekannten elsässischen Zeichner. Das absolute Highlight ist jedoch unbestreitbar Klein-Venedig (Petite Venise), das Sie auf keinen Fall verpassen dürfen! Natürlich ist es auch sehr schön, einfach so durch die Stadt zu schlendern und im großen historischen Stadtzentrum die Fachwerkhäuser am Quai de la Poissonnerie zu bewundern. Kulturinteressierte werden ihren Aufenthalt in Colmar mit einem Besuch des Museums Unterlinden abschließen, um den berühmten Isenheimer Altar zu bewundern.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Alsace (, also US: , French: [alzas] (listen); Alsatian: ’s Elsàss [ˈɛlsɑs]; German: Elsass [ˈɛlzas] (listen); Latin: Alsatia) is a cultural and historical region in eastern France, on the west bank of the upper Rhine next to Germany and Switzerland.
From 1982 to 2016, Alsace was the smallest administrative région in metropolitan France, consisting of the Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin departments. Territorial reform passed by the French legislature in 2014 resulted in the merger of the Alsace administrative region with Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine to form Grand Est.
Due to protests it was decided in 2019 that Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin would form the future European Collectivity of Alsace in 2021.
Alsatian is an Alemannic dialect closely related to Swabian and Swiss German, although since World War II most Alsatians primarily speak French. Internal and international migration since 1945 has also changed the ethnolinguistic composition of Alsace. For more than 300 years, from the Thirty Years' War to World War II, the political status of Alsace was heavily contested between France and various German states in wars and diplomatic conferences. The economic and cultural capital of Alsace, as well as its largest city, is Strasbourg. The city is the seat of several international organizations and bodies.
