Colmar, France

Colmar is a charming French city with an area of just 66 kilometres squared. Although it may be small, it is the home of six Christmas markets, making it one of the most photographed Christmas destinations in Europe. In addition to this, it has numerous architectural treasures in its Old Town, all of which look magnificent when covered in Christmas decorations, fairy lights, and snow.

By the way, if any of you, like me, are nerds who love maps, I highly recommend checking out the Turgot map. I won't link it or tumblr will eat this post, but you can find it just by searching Wikipedia - it's an incredibly detailed 3D map of Paris made in the 1730s, and by "incredibly detailed," I mean

incredibly

incredibly

INCREDIBLY

DETAILED!

Look, there's Notre Dame! Individual trees! Individual lampposts! Individual boats!! (Some of them even have little people in lol, though clearly not to scale)

The full scan is over 35,000 pixels wide, guys! That's over 10 feet of map!! All drawn and engraved by hand! I'm freaking out a little! What an absolutely amazing piece of history & art!
