Alsace is known to be the region in Eastern France with the colorful and charming Renaissance houses. I just fell in love with how peaceful, charming and colorful everything was and it made me feel like I was in a storybook.
I truly felt like my favorite Disney princess, Belle as I was roaming through fairytale Alsace. Speaking of Belle from Beauty and the Beast , a fun fact is that the classic Disney fairytale was based in Alsace the town of Eguisheim to be exact, but I go into that later on.
No matter where you tend to wander through or get lost in this region, it is hard to not be amazed at everything! Today, I am so excited to go over everything I did in the Alsatian towns of Colmar, Eguisheim and Kaysersberg and expose you to everything you could do or see if you ever make a visit to this region. I only promote and talk about products and services that I have used and like. Throughout my time in France , I traveled around via the TGV high speed train and made it to our destinations in a short amount of time.
I made sure to book my tickets via Omio in advance. Other ways to get to fairytale Alsace is by traveling via flight or car. You could find great flight deals on Skyscanner as well as decent car rentals! While we were in Alsace, the towns were small enough to walk everywhere; but to get from each village, my friend and I ended up traveling via taxi. One thing to note about the towns in Alsace is that they are very different from the larger cities in France.
It is at these two places where you could request or schedule a taxi. It is also important to remember that these tourism offices close for an hour or two for lunch and also around evening to conclude the day. During our time in Alsace, we stayed in Colmar. Even though Strasbourg is the largest city in Alsace, Colmar is a better base because it is centrally located in the region, making it easier to tour the other small towns.
