Colmar - Signs and Treats

One of the highlights of our time in Alsace was the Medieval village of Colmar. The whimsical signs were helpful in times when a majority of the population was illiterate.

Most of the photos were taken while following a guide on a walking tour of Colmar.

I didn't have much time for planning or focus so I snapped them quickly so that I could keep up with the group.

It is wonderful that the locals appreciate the value of these pretty little pieces of yesterday. 

Swan soup?

From the back - pork sausage?

Wonderful old building in the background.

Love the shutters on the windows.

I have no idea what this sign is telling me but it really is cute!

Saint Martin is very important in the history of the region.

Me too!

We visited the Farmer's Market.

Shop windows along the streets.

The celebrated storks are featured in this sweet little mural.
