Colmar

Getting Here

The three daily direct TGV high-speed return trips from Paris's Gare de l'Est to Colmar (€75.10), taking 2 hours 50 minutes each way, are perfectly complemented by 10 semi-direct, hourly TGV/TER combos from the same station. They all require a change at either Strasbourg or Mulhouse but barely 10 minutes is added to the trip. The last of the five Sélestat-bound (€4.40) trains/buses from Colmar to stop at Ribeauvillé (€2.80) is at 1:06 pm. The LK Groupe (www.l-k.fr) has regular bus service from the Gare SNCF to towns throughout the region, including Ribeauvillé (seven daily). Colmar's train station on Rue de la Gare is in the far southwestern corner of town; from here, walk 15 minutes down Avenue de la République for the tourist office, or take municipal TRACE buses (buy ticket from driver).
