This was the last day of the French leg of our walk. We had another stroll among the old buildings of Colmar before heading eastward out of town.

| We weren't the only slow travellers in Colmar this morning |
From Colmar our route took us through Neuf-Brisach, a heritage-listed fortified town. We had a bit of a look around, and rested up in a tea room before heading on.

| The scenery was largely agricultural |
 |
| Like many war memorials we have seen in Alsace, this one in Neuf-Brisach is dedicated to the town's victims of war (rather than to those who died for France, as in much of the rest of the country). |

From Neuf-Brisach to our hotel was just a short walk further on.

| The spring wildflowers gave us an excuse for a few photo stops |
 |
| Day 38 - Bonus picture - 5 weeks of healthy fruit in France. We tried to make the most of the opportunities provided by the many excellent pâtisseries on our route. Now we are going into Germany, we may have a change of diet for a while. |
Our hotel is on an island in the Rhine. We are still in France, but only a few hundred metres from Germany. Tomorrow we cross the border and head towards the Black Forest for the next stage of our walk.
