Editorial Summary

An Australian family explores the Alsace region of France, focusing on the fairytale-like atmosphere of Colmar and Strasbourg. The creators describe Colmar as a place that feels like stepping into a storybook, noting the unique blend of French and German influences visible in the half-timbered architecture and local food, such as pretzels. They visit the Little Venice area, where they enjoy canal boat rides and explore picturesque streets. The family also takes a train to Strasbourg to visit its massive Gothic cathedral, which they describe as having a unique, almost skeletal appearance. In Strasbourg, they observe the historical significance of the city's shifting borders between France and Germany. The trip includes tasting traditional Alsatian dishes like tarte flambée and onion pie, as well as attempting crème brûlée. The creators conclude that the region is a must-visit destination, particularly noting the romantic and magical qualities of the small towns and canals.
