|
Colmar, chief town of the département of Haut-Rhin in Upper Alsace and the third largest town in Alsace (after Strasbourg and Mulhouse), lies near the vine-covered foothills of the southern Vosges, in the climatically favored Upper Rhine plain. Situated near the mouths of two major valleys in the Vosges, it is an excellent center from which to explore the High Vosges; and with its picturesque old burghers' houses of the 16th and 17th centuries and its many treasures of art it is also one of the principal tourist attractions of Alsace in its own right.
