It's just a hop, skip and jump across the border from Baden-Baden but it took us a bit to finally get to the hotel. The GPS kept trying to take us through a pedestrian only area to park. We finally just picked a lot that was close by and hoofed it the short way to the lobby. We dropped our bags and set off on foot to explore this quaint French village. In keeping with the free-spiritedness of our entire weekend, we didn't have much on our "must see" list so we wandered freely, found a great spot for lunch and went back to our wandering. The weather did not hold up as nicely here in the afternoon and our umbrellas kept coming our sporadically through the day but all in all, it was a nice way to spend a Saturday and it is probably my favorite spot from our trip. I would love to come back again when the weather was really nice and sit along the river, sipping some French wine and eating a cassoulet.
The view from our hotel room.
Wisteria! My new favorite!
Macarons. IN France!
The Maison Kammerzell - Built in 1427 it is probably the most well-preserved example of medieval Gothic architecture in Europe.
The front entrance to the Cathedral. At 142 m tall, it was the tallest building in the world until 1874 (Hamburg's St. Nikolai church surpassed it) but it is still the 6th tallest in the world to this day. Started in 1176, the cathedral was not fully finished until almost 200 years later.
The Rose window and the gorgeous stained glass that surrounds you everywhere.
The Astronomical Clock.
Goofing around in the rain and then riding the rides at the small Easter fair in the square.
