🇫🇷Korma|Falling into the painting frame of Howl's Moving Castle

#5月好去地方2025 "God knocked over the paint can here, so humans caught eternity with wood and flowers"🎨 - 🇫🇷Open the first window in Colmar and you will fall into the medieval palette🎨 . The 16th-century wooden truss houses have crooked shoulders🏡, squeezed into candy-colored waves in the cobblestone alleys🍬. The geraniums hanging from the attic are earrings that have been dried in the sun for a long time; the rowboats on the canal shatter the reflection of the Renaissance. - 🏘 Guide to the spiritual attractions 📍 Petite Venise ▪ Take a flat-bottomed boat across the Spree River and count the seven kinds of blue on both sides: cornflower blue, glass blue, lapis lazuli blue... The boatman will show you the fish drying racks of 15th-century fishermen 🐟 . ▪ The spire of St. Martin's Church⛪: Climb the 79 spiral stone steps and watch the black storks writing poems on the colorful roof 📜 . 📍 Maison Pfister ▪ The oldest apartment in Alsace, the murals contain a chess game between the winemaker 🧙♀️ and the devil 👿 . ▪ The corner oriel window is a natural frame, and the midday sun will ignite the wood-carved biblical stories . 📍 Rue des Têtes ▪ Look for the 111 human head sculptures under the eaves: an angry tax collector, a tearful widow, a smirking wine apprentice . ▪ Make a wish at the bronze fountain at the end of the street: throw three coins and wait for the stork to bring spring 🕊️ . 📍 Musée Unterlinden ▪ The altarpiece "Isenhain Altar" is a moving Bible📚 . ▪ In the medieval cloister, there is a bronze duck used by Romans to bathe in hot springs🦆 . - 🎪 Colmar-style rituals of life ▫ Saturday market🛍️: grab the first basket of grey cheese in the flagstone square, and learn to weave wicker baskets from the old lady in the red hat🧺 . ▫ Chasing storks🐦: The real owner of Colmar lives in the iron nest on the roof. Bring a telescope🔭 to watch during the young birds’ test flight season (end of May) . ▫ Night tour magic: After 9 p.m., walk the night watchman’s route with a kerosene lamp and listen to the tower keeper ringing the moon of the tenth century🌙 - 🚗 Surrounding Easter eggs 📍 Eguisheim ▪ The most beautiful village in Alsace, with a 500-year-old linden tree in the center of the snail-shaped street ▪ Find the mural "Our Lady of Grapes": the grapes on her skirt will change color with the light . 📍 Route des Vines ▪ Rent a mint green Beetle and chase the lonely castle at the end of the Riesling vineyard🍇 ▪ In September, join the wine growers during the harvest season and dance a rebellious dance by stepping on grapes🍇 - 🎭 Time and space switching code ▪ Wear a long-nosed mask during the February Carnival and throw sawdust at the crowd (traditional exorcism ritual) ▪ During the Christmas season, go into the 1604 Candy House and taste the cinnamon-flavored gilded pine cones ▪ During the April cherry blossom season, the canal will be covered with spots of light pecked by storks
