Colmar Old Town | Statue of Liberty in France? | France Trip Ep #1
I went on a short trip to explore the unique old town of Colmar with its famous petite venise ( little venice). A day was enough to experience the beauty of this small city in Alsace, France. If you plan a trip you can easily explore everything in 4 - 5 hours, or you spend a bit more time and check the small crafted shops. I also loved the small bakeries, they bake fresh cookies and cakes there! A must have is a Tarte flambée, a local speciality! Hope you enjoy this vlog!

LIBERTY STATUE THE FRENCH HAVE TAKEN A LIBERTY SEEN HERE IN COLMAR FRANCE.
The world's largest replica of the Statue of Liberty, 12 meters high, was unveiled 4 July 2004 in Colmar, Alsace, France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. Colmar is the birthplace of Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty.
The new statue was installed on a roundabout in a commercial zone where it welcomes visitors at the northern entrance to the picturesque Alsatian city, prefecture of Haut-Rhin.
The 2004 sculpture was officially inaugurated on American Independence Day, July 4th, in the presence of Bernadette Chirac, the wife of president Jacques Chirac, the Secretary General of the European Council, the French Minister for Foreign Trade; Christopher Davis, consul general of the United States in Strasbourg, and American professional singer Jessye Norman.
Mrs. Chirac withdrew the American flag which covered the plaque installed in front of the work by sculptor Guillaume Roche. According to Mr. Roche, his work is the largest copy of the Statue of the Liberty, built in 1886 in New York harbor by Bartholdi with the aid of Gustave Eiffel.
The original statue towers more than 90 meters above New York Harbor - the statue itself standing 46.05 meters (151 feet, one inch) tall on a 47-meter pedestal. France gave the statue to the United States as a symbol of the friendship that started during the American Revolution. A small replica stands in Paris on an island near the Grenelle bridge in the Seine, near the Eiffel Tower.
To create the new statue, Roche used one of Bartholdi's original models, which is kept at the museum in Colmar dedicated to his work. He built a statue 10 times the size of the 128-centimeter model. Roche then cut it into 42 pieces, moulded them in plaster and reproduced them in the polyester resin. Roche's Lady Liberty is designed to resist the shock of being hit by a truck, and also to resist the ill effects of pollution and decay due to the anti-graffiti substance with which it is coated.
Colmar Statue Statistics:
12 meters high; 10 meters circumference
2 tons steel, 6 tons plaster. 2 tons resin.
1000 folds in her dress
12,000 man-hours, 9 months construction time
Cost: EUR 300,000 (USD 370,000) .

This statue made of resin is a 12-meter high replica of the Statue of Liberty. It was sculpted to commemorate the 100th death anniversary of the sculptor Auguste Batholdi, who was born in Colmar and created the Liberty lightening the world.
Many initiatives, animations and events took place in Colmar for the anniversary of Bartholdi’s death. Among them, the Municipality of Colmar has chosen to install in the northern entrance to the town, this replica of the Statue of Liberty.
It is intended to honor the most prestigious artist of Colmar and pay tribute to the work of art which is probably the most famous in the world. This statue is also another link with the United States, already symbolized since 1986 by the signature of a twinning agreement between Colmar and the university town of Princeton, not far from New York.

Colmar is a town in the Grand Est region of northeastern France, near the border with Germany. Its old town has cobblestone streets lined with half-timbered medieval and early Renaissance buildings. The Gothic 13th-century, Eglise Saint-Martin church stands on central Place de la Cathédrale. The city is on the Alsace Wine Route, and local vineyards specialize in Riesling and Gewürztraminer wines.
The city offers visitors a fascinating insight into 1,000 years of European history through its exceptional heritage. Wonderfully preserved from the ravages of time, its homogenous historical centre is classed as a 'protected area' and has benefited from careful restoration and ongoing improvements for more than 25 years.
Colmar is really a condensed version of the Alsace region. Walking in its streets is like visiting à huge movie set with hundreds of century-old half-timbered houses, lovely canals and flourished pedestrian town center. The city has an impressive selection of quality restaurants and shops selling high-quality local products.
Colmar is also the capital of Alsace wines and is nestled at the foot of the vineyard next to many idyllic villages. The city hosts the annual Wine Fair of Alsace in august, that has gone through six decades. This event gathers approximately 300 000 people during 15 days of music, party and wine tasting.
The city with multicolored houses is also the birthplace of sculptor Bartholdi, father of the famous Statue of Liberty in New York and of Hansi, the well known illustrator of Alsace.

FRANCE: ORIGINAL STATUE OF LIBERTY TO GO ON DISPLAY IN TOKYO
Natural Sound
The French are sharing with Japan a symbol of Franco-American friendship known around the world.
The original Statue of Liberty - which is considerably smaller than its more famous replica in New York - was being dismantled in Paris on Wednesday.
The statue heads to Japan as a display of France's goodwill towards the country, just as the larger statue was a gesture of friendship from France to the United States.
The process of dismantling the original version of the Statue of Liberty began in Paris on Wednesday.
Work crews took Lady Liberty apart piece-by-piece to prepare her for a month-long journey to Asia.
The original Statue - considerably smaller than its replica, the famous landmark that stands in New York Harbour - is being prepared to go on display in Tokyo, Japan.
The 11.5 metre (37 foot), 14-tonne statue, whose official title is Liberty lighting up the world, is being taken down from its home of over a century on the Ile des Cygnes in the River Seine.
As a gesture of friendship, the French are sending the statue to Japan for a nine-month stay in Tokyo Bay.
The statue was originally a gift given to Paris by a private U-S group in 1889 to help the city commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
It was created by the man who also sculpted the larger Statue of Liberty - French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi.
His larger work, which quickly became a symbol for welcoming immigrants who arrived in America from all of the world, was a gift from France celebrating its friendship with the U-S.
The statue and its message of freedom will remain on display in Tokyo until January 1999, when it will be taken apart again to return home to Paris.

Considered by some to be the most beautiful city in Europe, and self-proclaimed as the capital of Alsatian wine, Colmar, France is a hidden gem if ever there was one. Whether you like strolling through classic European old towns, exploring 800-year old architecture, browsing through antique shops, art galleries and boutiques, or sitting in sun-drenched plazas and along serene river banks drinking world-class wine and eating world-class French pastries, Colmar has you covered. And so long as you don’t mind getting up a little early to beat the throngs of people that descend on the birthplace of the Statue of Liberty each day (the French sculptor who designed “Lady Liberty” was born here), Colmar is also an incredible place for a run. Few other places we’ve been give runners a better chance to enjoy lush parkland, cobblestoned alley ways, fairy-tale rivers and diverse historical architecture all in such an easily traversed package.

Colmar (French: Colmar, pronounced: [kɔlmaʁ]; Alsatian: Colmer [ˈkolməʁ]; German: Colmar, between 1871--1918 and 1940-1945: Kolmar) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France.
It is the capital of the department. Colmar is also the seat of the highest jurisdiction in Alsace, the appellate court.
It is situated along the Alsatian Wine Route and considers itself to be the Capital of Alsatian Wine (capitale des vins d'Alsace).
In 2006, the city of Colmar had a population of 65,713 and the metropolitan area of Colmar had a population of 120,367.Colmar is the center of the arrondissement of Colmar, which has 144,700 inhabitants in 2006.Colmar is the home town of the painter and engraver Martin Schongauer and the sculptor Frédéric Bartholdi, who designed the Statue of Liberty. The city is renowned for its well preserved old town, its numerous architectural landmarks and its museums, among which the Unterlinden Museum.
Colmar was founded in the 9th century. This was the location where Charles the Fat held a diet in 884. Colmar was granted the status of a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire in 1226. In 1575, the city adopted the Protestant Reformation, long after the northern neighbours of Strasbourg and Sélestat. During the Thirty Years' War, the city was taken by the armies of Sweden in 1632, who held it for two years. The city was conquered by France under Louis XIV in 1673.
In 1679 (Treaties of Nijmegen) Colmar was ceded to France. With the rest of Alsace, Colmar was annexed by the newly formed German Empire in 1871 as a result of the Franco-Prussian War. It returned to France after World War I, was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1940, and then reverted to French control after the battle of the Colmar Pocket in 1945. Colmar has been continuously governed by conservative parties since 1947, the Popular Republican Movement (1947--1977), the Union for French Democracy (1977--1995) and the Union for a Popular Movement (since 1995), and has had only three mayors during that time.
The Colmar Treasure, hidden during the Black Death, was discovered here in 1863.

COLMAR
Efter besöket i Sindshem for vi vidare till Colmar i Frankrike.
Mannen som skapade frihetsgudinnan, Auguste Bartholdi, föddes i Colmar. Det finns även ett Bartholdimuseum här i Colmar.
Colmar grundades på 800-talet och har varit tyskt och franskt om vartannat. Under ett par år i början av 1630-talet var det till och med svenskt. Staden har klarat sig från bombningar under världskrigen och har därför många vackra, urgamla hus kvar. Det sägs att det beror på alla storkar som finns här. De för tydligen lycka med sig. Vi såg dock inte en enda stork under de timmar vi tillbringade inne i de gamla delarna av Colmar.
After the visit to Sindshem we moved on to Colmar in France.
The man who created the Statue of Liberty, Auguste Bartholdi, was born in Colmar. There is also a Bartholdi Museum here in Colmar.
Colmar was founded in the 8th century and has been German and French every two years. For a couple of years in the early 1630s, it was even Swedish. The city has survived bombings during the World War and therefore has many beautiful, ancient houses left. It is said that it depends on all the storks that are here. They apparently bring happiness with them. However, we did not see a single stork during the hours we spent inside the old parts of Colmar.
