Itinerary
Day 1 | Riquewihr – Colmar
Departure in the morning and drive to the medieval Riquewihr, located on the Alsace Wine Route. Here you have the opportunity to visit the traditional Christmas market in a fairy-tale setting that combines the Christmas spirit with everything that makes Alsace charming. TIP: In Riquewihr, there is a shop that specializes entirely in Christmas – the “Féerie de Noël”. You might want to take a look inside.... In the afternoon, you will continue to Colmar, where you will be warmly welcomed at the hotel. After checking into your room, you will “immerse yourself” in Colmar's Christmas atmosphere.

Day 2 | Strasbourg – Return Journey
After a cozy breakfast, you will drive to Strasbourg. Since 1570, the famous “Christkindelsmärik” has been held here annually. It is one of the oldest Christmas markets in France! Feel the festive magic – the shop windows shine, Christmas decorations adorn the facades of the houses, treats spread the scent of cinnamon and other Christmas spices, and the large Christmas tree, which has been shining in Kléber Square since mid-November, enchants the strolling visitors.
