Colmar’s Little Venice: A Captivating Boat Tour of Colmar’s Lauch River
So this little river is called LA River La is the German for the lick a vegetable from the onions family it was named after an incident relating a farmer living here in the medieval time who had a lot of faks which he wanted to sell unfortunately he was drun on the
Day he went to sell those leaks so he loaded too much on his boats and the balance was not well done so the boats eventually suck the bottom of the river so every leak he had on the boat ended up in the river which was then the
Perfect name for the river since there were so many leaks in it it became the leak River so in German Lai so the bridge here is called American Bridge and the street going by is Street Bal D Bal D was a French artist of the 19th century he was born and raised in
Kmar in 1800 34 now if B is so famous it’s because he’s the Scutter of the Statue of Liberty so the Statue of Liberty was initially done in France and then sent to the United States as a gift in 1886 she’s 73 m in high and Mr Bal is
The one who sculped the bronze but on this whole project he was also helped by Mr Eiffel would become famous later for the famous Eiffel Tower now in Kar in memory to Mr B we have our own little statue she is however only 12 m in high
Which makes it a shame for the city so we hide it’s hidden on a r about in the direction of St Keep It In Shape let’s simply destroy it now of course there are some places in the city where they could not dismantle this wall because it was a
Wall for a house for example on the right when we come out of the bridge you will see a restaurant and the wall of this restaurant is a remaining of this Old City wall was again destroyed in the 17th century when the French seed the the
Right lot of neighbors and to make sure we do not disturb them I will simply ask you not to speak too loudly and I will remain quiet until the next so we are out of quiet Z and now arriving to breach TR TR was the field
Marshal for wi of 14 the 17th century which the became French for the first time so they changed the German names for French ones to head the city and the people living here to adapt to the French language and the French culture so this bridge used to be called trka
Bridge tra in in means to drink it also means the place where the animals come to drink so this one here in front of the restro we see a head on the right side used to come here to drink water from the river of course today they simply go inside of the restaurant
M now here on the left the yellow building is one of the oldest in K it was built in the 12th century we call it in the medieval time it was a living place for a KN company those Knights were called San of Jerusalem Knights they were very famous across Europe
Because they used to fight for the Catholic church and the Pope’s interests now of course since then we do not have Knights here anymore the building has become a school we may still see some old toilets all those colon you can see falling to the river here here and here those are all
Toilets thankfully not continues anymore mhm so here on the right you have some dogs dogs are called fisherman dogs it’s here that the fishermen used to come to deliver the fish was then cleaned and sold of course this activity has since long now gone so we do not have a lot of
Fishermen nor professional on the river anymore so no one comes here to selfish anymore we have non professional fishermen but they are not very good so let’s not relate on them farmer place a Marketplace who has been bit by the farmer because they needed the market directly next to the river
They used to bring everything to the city with boats but the market was not next to the river so they had to get everything from the boat to the market which was not very practical but if you have this big Market here with those stairs why then can they can simply come
Here here un know everything inside of the markets and set spe the house in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit so it was the Holy Trinity and some other symbols who do not have any meaning at all but are simply nice for the eyes so they both make
