Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi who created the Statue of Liberty was a native of Colmar and this is The Little Winemaker, one of his statues celebrating him there.
On our travels we often see wedding parties and have even been invited to help a soon to be groom celebrate at his bachelor's party/stag night.
I don't think we have ever noticed a bachelorette party/hen's night but that is what this seems to be.
Farmers market in the town square
Fontaine Roesselmann (Roesselmann Fountain) another statue by Bartholdi.
It was taken away by the Germans in 1943 but was restored and reinstalled in 1945

Can you guess who created this statue?
Nope, it is of Auguste Bartholdi not by him.
It was created by the sculptors Hubert Louies-Noel and Antoine Rubin.
