Colmar, France

Forests, vineyards and home of the Statue of Liberty designer.


En-route to Germany we passed through the Colmar area of France........ Beautiful forests and vineyards as far as the eye can see and full of French charm.



“The impressive 12-meter high resin replica of the Statue of Liberty stands on the northern entrance to Colmar town.”

The impressive 12-meter high resin replica of the Statue of Liberty stands on the northern entrance to Colmar town. It was sculpted to commemorate the 100th death anniversary of the sculptor Auguste Batholdi, who was born in Colmar and designed the amazing iconic copper Statue of Liberty that now stands in New York - a gift to the United States from France in 1886.
