Old Turckheim (Alsace, France) - a photo on Flickriver

            Old half timbered house with a bay window, the city hall (Hôtel de Ville) and the church Sainte-Anne in the village of Turckheim. The differend architectural styles are remarkably.
The picturesque village of Turckheim lies a few kilometers west of Colmar on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains in Alsace in north-eastern France.
Turckheim boasts a particularly quaint and well-kept city. Few of its early Renaissance buildings were destroyed in the numerous wars which have swept through Alsace and Moselle, therefore the destination is popular for tourists interested in the Alsatian building style typified by half-timbered homes, varied pastel wall colorings, and flowers. In fact, Turckheim is a ville fleurie, meaning it is considered one of the most floribund cities in France.
