Little Venice... a very small area of Colmar - but one of many charms. Why the name? you only have one guess... if u have said the word canals, bingo! u r nearly right. The canals are in fact only one canal - nowadays - but a lovely one it is... with plenty of colourful half-timbered houses surrounding it and uncountable flowers. Originally, it was inhabited by boatmen and fishermen - now it's one of the "nice" places to live. There are guided boat rides on small boats - the price used to be of 35 francs (about 5 dollars).
