Colmar is the most beautiful small city in Alsace and one of the most remarkably preserved medieval and Renaissance towns in France — a city of 70,000 inhabitants on the Alsatian wine route whose extraordinary concentration of 15th and 16th-century half-timbered (colombage) Alsatian houses, its canals and the Petite Venise (Little Venice) quarter on the Lauch River, and its world-famous Unterlinden Museum have made it the most visited city in France after Paris, Strasbourg and Lyon. Colmar's old town, with the Ancienne Douane (the medieval customs house), the Maison Pfister (1537, the finest Renaissance merchant's house in Alsace), the Cathedral of Saint Martin and the Dominican Monastery, is one of the most completely intact pre-Revolutionary urban ensembles in France.
Colmar's cultural crown is the Musée Unterlinden — housed in a 13th-century Dominican convent and its remarkable modern extension by Herzog & de Meuron (2016), it holds the Isenheim Altarpiece (Matthias Grünewald, c.1512–1516), the most powerful and most disturbing altarpiece in Western art, painted for the monastery of Saint Anthony at Isenheim to comfort patients with ergotism (St. Anthony's Fire). The altarpiece's crucifixion panel — Christ's body covered in the skin lesions and contorted agony of the disease — is one of the most viscerally affecting paintings in existence, and its transformation panels (the joyful Annunciation and Resurrection scenes) create a theological and emotional journey of extraordinary intensity. Colmar is also the birthplace of Auguste Bartholdi, sculptor of the Statue of Liberty.
Isenheim Altarpiece — Grünewald's Masterpiece: The Isenheim Altarpiece (Matthias Grünewald, c.1512–1516) in the Musée Unterlinden is one of the most powerful and most disturbing paintings in Western art — a polyptych altarpiece painted for an Antonite monastery hospital, where patients with ergotism (a fungal disease causing gangrenous convulsions) were shown Christ's afflicted body as consolation. The crucifixion panel's physical horror and spiritual anguish, and the transformation to the luminous Resurrection, create one of the most overwhelming art experiences in France.
Petite Venise and Alsatian Heritage: Colmar's Petite Venise quarter — the tanners' and market gardeners' neighbourhood along the Lauch River, with its 16th-century colombage houses, flower-bedecked balconies and laundry boats — is the most photographed image in Alsace. The Alsatian Wine Route (Route des Vins d'Alsace) begins at Colmar, with the Grand Cru vineyards of Riquewhr, Ribeauvillé and Kaysersberg (the birthplace of Albert Schweitzer) within 20km.
A35 Wine Route Transfer: The transfer from Strasbourg Airport to Colmar takes approximately 55 minutes via the A35 motorway south through the Alsatian plain — the same road that runs the length of the wine route between the Vosges foothills and the Rhine plain.
