🇫🇷 Colmar Guide: Step into the Fairy-Tale Town from Hayao Miyazaki’s

Did you know Howl’s Moving Castle was inspired by a real place? The magical town of Colmar, France is its prototype! It was also a filming location for Chinese Restaurant 🎥. Though small, Colmar is perfect for a relaxing day trip. Here’s an efficient walking route covering both Howl’s Moving Castle and Chinese Restaurant themes! 🌞 Morning 1️⃣ Maison Pfister The real-life inspiration for Howl’s Moving Castle! Built in 1537, this Renaissance masterpiece is a must-see. 📸 Take a front photo first, then head to the side alley for an upward shot of the carved balcony. 2️⃣ Saint-Martin Church Right next to Maison Pfister, this Gothic church offers free entry. Visit at noon to see sunlight streaming through the rose window, creating colorful patterns inside. 🌈 🍽️ Noon 3️⃣ Marché Couvert (Covered Market) Ranked one of the world’s most beautiful markets! Grab lunch here and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. 🧀🍎 🌆 Afternoon 4️⃣ Seafood Dock After lunch, stroll along the river to discover 16th-century trade murals and flower-basket restaurants. 🎨 5️⃣ Petite Venise (Little Venice) Find the Pont Rue des Ecoles bridge for the classic shot: love lock railings + colorful house reflections! 📸❤️ 6️⃣ Toy Museum A burst of childhood nostalgia! From antique dolls to train models, the interactive games are super fun (€5.5 ticket). 🧸🚂 7️⃣ Colmar Old Town Wander through colorful streets lined with quaint shops. Every house feels like Christmas meets a fairy tale — truly magical! 🎄✨ 🍴 Food Recommendations 1️⃣ Afternoon Tea at Au Croissant Doré A charming retro café run by a sweet elderly couple. Perfect for resting tired feet! Enjoy tea, coffee, and handmade pastries. ☕🍰 2️⃣ Dinner at Les Six Montagnes Opposite the Chinese Restaurant filming spot, this café-style French bistro offers great value. A 2-course meal costs under €30 per person! 🍷🍽️ After dinner, catch a train back to Switzerland! 🚄 #ChineseRestaurant #HowlsMovingCastle #France #Europe #Travel #Food #FilmingLocation #TravelGuide
