“When the storks fly… back in one of the most beautiful regions of France. Sitting with friends in a coffee shop near the Ill, I hesitate between a Flammkueche or a Kougelhopf… and if I chose Colmar, unique by its architecture, its terraced houses overlooking the Lauch. I wouldn’t leave without becoming the lady of the Haut-Koenigsbourg.”
