More of Colmar, France



This is the House of Heads named for the 106 heads that decorate the façade.  It was built in 1609.

Lots of heads ...

... but none of them bite.

L'ancien corps de garde, the old police station, was built in 1575.  The loggia was used for swearing in officials or to pronounce sentences.

This guy popped out to see what's happening in the street below.

The Covered Market was built in 1865.

This was the cleanest, most attractive market I have ever seen.


There are lots of different stories about the origin of pretzels, but none can really be verified.  All I need to know is that they taste good.

Shops are elaborately decorated.


It seems every town has a boat ride.  This trip in the Little Venice area of the Lauch River was quite nice.    

What do six mature adults do when they see themselves reflected in the mirrored front of a building?  Why, they giggle and wave and take pictures of their reflection, of course.
