Famous for being the "Capital of Alsatian Wine", and the birthplace of Frederic Bartholdi (you know, the guy who made the "Statue of Liberty"), Colmar is renowned for its well preserved medieval town, and its numerous architectural landmarks.
Personally, I find the region of Alsace very intriguing because it is a melting pot of German and French cultures. Historically, it has been bounced back between Germany and France many times. When we arrived in Colmar, it felt familiarly German with a French twist (the buildings are framed in wood but in pastel pink) . We tried flammkuchen (Flemkusch in Alsatian) with foie gras (very French) and Sauerkraut.
Unfortunately, France is on holiday every time we try to visit. This time was no exception. So, everything was closed when we arrived and I guess only the most touristic restaurants were open and so I have to admit that I didn't like the food very much. The wineries were closed as well. I was so much looking forward to trying and buying Alsatian wines. We do plan on going back one day to get the full experience. It is afterall only about an hour from Basel.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
