    • Strasbourg or Colmar New years Eve?

      Strasbourg May 18, 2013 at 6:16 PM

      Hi, I will be heading to either Colmar or Strasbourg on the 30th of Dec from Munich and spending two nights there. I will be going to Paris on the 1st of Jan. Would it be possible to visit both Strasbourg and Colmar in this time. For example, could I base myself in Strasbourg but also add a visit to Colmar since it's a short train ride? Or would I be better off choosing one over the other? I know that I won't be able to see everything I want in such a short amount of time, but I am having great difficulty deciding which place to go!

      I'd like to see the Christmas markets and of course the lovely wooden architecture (as the major priorities) and all other sites as a bonus in the short time I will be there. I enjoy good food and taking in the sights. I will be traveling with my partner.

      Best towns to visit around Strasbourg?

      Strasbourg Apr 23, 2013 at 7:41 PM

      Hi.. We have made arrangements to rent a car for two days while in Strasbourg. We are already planning to take a train to visit Colmar on another day. So my question is: what other towns should we "not miss" within the area? We'd like to catch some of the sites and maybe even stop at a winery for a visit. Any help is appreciated.

      Thanks.. Tom

      Point du Jour Farm of Christian Augspurger

      by ms_obvious Online Now Jan 30, 2006 at 7:42 PM

      I am trying to locate a farm called Pointe du Jour that was owned by Christian Augspurger in the 1800s near St. Marie Aux Mines. He was a leader in the Mennonite church and came to the US. Other family names include: Schrock, Holly, Kennel, Hauter. He also farmed a property owned by Charles Schuelmeister (spy during Napolean times) called Chateau Le Meinau.
