Petite Venise, Macarons and Friends #travellintoAlsace



 Bonjour and welcome to another #travellinto post!

Today I thought to show you some photos of the last two days, where I travelled to Colmar and Straßburg with some friends and another class on behalf of a school project.
On our first day we went to Colmar, where we slept the night in a youth hostel (aka the worst accomodation on this planet, without overstating, but just let us forget this), then visited the beautiful old town and had some free time which we used to have a boat trip in Petite Venise and to eat some macarons at a patisserie. After that our group visited a church (forgot the name) where the Musee Unterlinden with the popular Isenheimer Altar was taking place. At the evening we all sat together whilst eating some tarte flambees at a restaurant called Schwendi, which had some nice traditional meals.









 


 























On the next day we setted off very early and took the train to Straßburg, where we visited the beautiful church Münster ( I absolutely love these stained mosaic windows) and climbed (I think that is the right word) over 330 steps to reach the viewing platform in thousend of metres height (you have to know I'm a little bit afraid of heights) but had the most wonderful view over the city of Straßburg. In the middle of visiting the church and climbing 330 breathtaking steps, we had a nice typical tourist boat trip (even if I prefered the first in Colmar over the other) with these Batorama boats and got to know many facts about the history of Straßburg. Before we had to go back to the train station we had another 130 minutes of free time which we used for another long walk across the town to get to the botanical garden which is behind a big university. Even if we had only a bit of time there, we enjoyed it very much and later we walked back to the station and got our train back home.





































Hope you liked it and see you soon,
