This picturesque photo shows the romantic charm of 'Petite Venise' in Colmar, France, from the bridge on Rue Turenne. In the centre of the scene, a tourist boat cruises calmly along the La Lauch, gliding past the beautiful half-timbered houses reflecting in the calm water. The colourful and characteristic buildings on either side of the river, with their distinctive wooden facades and flower boxes, give the place a fairytale atmosphere.
On the left side of the picture, an idyllic terrace stretches along the water, where visitors relax and enjoy the view and cosy atmosphere of this special neighbourhood. The overhanging balconies, richly decorated with flowers, add to Colmar's lively and inviting ambience.
The soft light and the city's historic architecture make this image a truly timeless postcard, perfectly capturing the harmony between water and city. It is an invitation to briefly dream away to the romance of picturesque Colmar and enjoy the soothing splendour of 'Petite Venise'.
