About The Port Of Colmar
Colmar sits in the Alsace region of northeastern France, near the German border, and is known for its beautifully preserved old town of pastel half-timbered houses and flower-lined canals. The Petite Venise quarter, with its waterways and footbridges, remains the town's most photographed corner, while narrow cobbled streets lead past Gothic churches and timbered merchant houses dating to the medieval and Renaissance eras.
The town is the birthplace of sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, creator of the Statue of Liberty, and its Unterlinden Museum houses the renowned Isenheim Altarpiece. Colmar's compact center is easily explored on foot, making it a convenient base for visits to nearby Alsatian wine villages along the region's celebrated wine route.
