So after a warm up in Stein am Rhein we took Dan to Colmar France to their Christmas market. It is really several markets spread throughout the town. I love Colmar. It is charming and picturesque on anyday and magical during the market. Tons of booths with hand crafted items, lots of yummy baked goods and chocolate and of course gluhwein. I am not actually a huge fan of gluhwein (think hot, sweet, spiced wine) but I am a fan of the mugs it is served in. You pay around a euro for the cup which you can get back if you turn the mug in when you are done. We keep ours and have several from the different markets we have been too. We found lots of goodies and showed Dan France truly is charming!
