Meandering steps took us to a bridge. It was the scene that I had remembered. I'd seen it in the travel guide last summer when I was preparing for the trip to Alsace, though I couldn't visit Colmar at that time. Mr. D took the first picture for us. Colmar is often referred to as "Petite Venice". Venice is of course one of the cities in Italy that was known as the lagoon city. I'll show you some pictures of canals.
