My friends and I decided to go to Colmar, France from Freiburg, Germany (where I did my summer exchange program) for a day trip. We drove there, but I highly recommend using the\u00a0Eurail<\/strong>\u00a0Pass<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0if you prefer to travel by train or are new to driving in Europe.<\/p>\n Colmar is a really nice town where the buildings and streets are so pretty. They had a farmer’s market where you can buy from the local vendors who make these jams and jellies and other products of course. I think it’s helpful if you know some\u00a0french\u00a0words in advanced such as “Merci” (thank you), “Excusez-moi” (Excuse me), “Bonjour” (Hello), and “Combien” (How much?).<\/p>\n To visit Colmar by train, I suggest the\u00a0Eurail<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Pass<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0which is a convenient way to travel around Europe by train.\u00a0Click here to get your\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>Eurail<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Pass<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n They open at 8 am and it’s great, though busy place to start your day at Colmar. People recommend\u00a0flamb\u00e9es\u00a0and\u00a0r\u00f6stis\u00a0as it is popular. Also, they have free Wi-fi which is a bonus if you want to share your delicious breakfast on your Instagram or Facebook.<\/p>\n You can take this train tour around Colmar between the months of March and November. It cost 7\u20ac\u00a0per adult (people 15 years old and older) and 5\u20ac\u00a0per child from the ages of 6 to 14.
