Alsace is one of the most beautiful regions in France. It is known for its Christmas markets, its castles, its wine road and its proximity to Germany! On our first day here, we had a great time exploring Colmar both by foot and on a canal tour. We didn't know it but the next day turned out to be a wild one! It started out on a fun adventure to Cigoland for Willa! After that we had planned to explore the famous Strasbourg, but life had other plans... eventually we made it home to a garden that somehow still had strawberries(it was July & we were amazed!!)

Strasbourg was a city founded by Germans, this area was german for 700 years before the French stole it while others defended Vienna from the Turks. Alsace (Elsaß) comes from the Germanic and means to settle down.

Auguste Bartholdi, who created the Statue of Liberty, was born in Colmar.

@missmakoti9702

My uncle was born in Alsace, it was already French when he was born but his parents were German. After the 1st WW it was given to France. My uncle has a German name and the German nationality but he only speaks French and he has a moustache. Would he be wearing a baret, he would look like the stereotyp Frenchman you see in drawings. My cousins on the other hand feel more German than French. I guess a lot of people still feel in between because of the history and their roots.

Freiburg best of all worlds

Hi. Looks like a nice trip again. The food you called pizza in German is named Flammkuchen. I live not so far and you can find it here everywhere too. About the park I think it was just right for Willas age. For the other big parks she is too small. Have a nice sunday.

@udomann9271

The reason, why this region looks like Germany, is, that this region WAS actually German from the year 1871 until 1918. The French stole this whole region from us, or they have taken it as a war prize. But now it is okay, we can go there everytime and vice versa, the situations for living are similar in both countries.

@erwanprout

Europa-Park may be a bit expensive but the best amusement park in Europe, I advise you to go there for Halloween or Christmas. The park is divided into 'districts' each reminiscent of several European countries, it has plenty of attractions for young children.

@indiramichaelahealey5156

What you called Pizzs is Flammkuchen. You can get it in Germany as well but the french region of Alsace (Elsass in German) is famous for it, especially the one with Bacon). I really like it as well.

@dreasbn

oh we just missed each other. I've been there on the 22nd of July in Bergheim Schlettstadt (Sélestat) and Colmar. Beautiful... I would not say German influence, but has germanic/german cultural roots... the dialects west and east of the Rhein are still similiar to non locals, but the Alsace dialect is fading away as most young people only speak french. Ever this area became step by step French in the 16th and 17th it was franconized... like many other regions in France that has different cultural roots, like Savoy, Bretagne, Midi, French-Flanders etc. It was annexed by the German-Empire in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian or Franco-German war until the end of WW1 in 1918. By then and afterwards, especially after WW2 and the war occupation of German military, the germanic roots were not held high, especially by the French government. When the locals fought for their cultural independence, defining themselves neither French or German is was more or less too late. But many food, christmas markets and more are more similiar to German traditions than to typical french one.

@PeterBuwen

👉This was no pizza. You had a Flammkuchen, which is typical of the cuisine of Alsace, Lorraine, Baden, Palatinate and Saarland.😃

@MrDesertbook

The cake with almonds, you can get in german a similar product. We call it "Bienenstich".

@jjivy6310

Too funny that Willa turned down the pizza 😂 . Love how she tries almost everything! Wonder travels. Thanks again for taking us along.

@anni6097

Love that you tried Flammkuchen! Growing up close to the French border I had it all the time and it still is one of my favorite foods! You'll find it everywhere in the Südpfalz region of Germany

@tommoses6557

There is no town called "Alsace" as you said, it's the whole region which is called Alsace (in French) or Elsass (in German), all along on the left side of the Rhine, from Switzerland in the south to Rhineland-Palatinate in the north.

@michaelgrabner8977

What you called Pizza was actually a "Flammkuchen"/"tarte flambée" in French...although it has a quite similar concept of having some stuff on a thin layer of bread as like as a Pizza but the difference is it has a slightly different made bread dough than a pizza and it has no tomato sauce as grounding but a sour cream sauce instead ...and there are also sweet options with fruits and cinnemon as well and not just savory options of "Flammkuchen".

Hi all, yes, when travelling and coming you will always find a surprise in your garden. Good to know one who can water the plants from time to time. Great to see that Willa, pardon princess Anna, had a full happy day in the amusement park and you also enjoyed it as well. CU
