From Bern to Colmar: Swiss and Chips over the border

If you're looking for Christmas magic, put Colmar, France on your list of must-see places. A beautiful city at any time of year, it is decorated and lit up to perfection every Christmas.

The city's cobbled streets are flanked by Medieval or Renaissance-period buildings and small canals run alongside the main thoroughfares. There are six different markets to see, each with a different focus such as artisan crafts, food or even an area aimed at children. On top of all that, the city's park has an ice rink and even a merry-go-round that has been adapted into a highly festive rotating drinkery.

Although Switzerland has an abundance of lovely Christmas markets, a trip to Colmar is something special: we'll tell you why in this latest episode!

Teaching a Swiss

It's time for Simon to learn more about the English language. Send a word or expression in English as a voice message to +41 76 282 67 66 and explain why it's important to know. Simon will try to figure out what it is and how to say it in Swiss German in the next episode. If you send us your address, you'll get a postcard as a thank you from us :)
