In spring, the city comes alive with vibrant colours, blooming flowers, and a pleasant atmosphere. Spring is a wonderful time to visit as Strasbourg's cobblestone streets and squares are adorned with colourful flowers, creating a picturesque and inviting environment. In the lead up to Easter, the streets and shops are filled with seasonal sights and treats. There is plenty of incredible architecture for us to photograph, such as the iconic Strasbourg Cathedral, a stunning masterpiece of Gothic architecture. In spring, you can enjoy the cathedral against the backdrop of blooming trees and flowers adding further to already beautiful compositions for photography. Climbing the Cathedral tower will provide us with impressive views across the city.

Included in the price is a luxury yacht trip, giving us the opportunity to photograph the city from the famous waterways, offering us a different perspective for photos. There will also be plenty of time for coffee drinking whilst we stroll Strasbourg’s beautiful cobbled streets.

We will venture outside of Strasbourg on day trips to visit nearby towns such as Colmar, another beautiful town in the Alsace region. Colmar is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, colourful timber-framed houses, and charming canals. Spring brings an explosion of colours as flowers bloom, creating a picturesque and romantic atmosphere giving us plenty of scenes and subjects to photograph. Typically quieter than Strasbourg, this stunning town provides us with a scene taken straight out of a Disney fairy tale - think Beauty and the Beast. Colmar's unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty makes it a delightful destination in spring, offering a magical setting for those who appreciate picturesque landscapes.

Both Strasbourg and Colmar offer a perfect blend of cultural richness and natural beauty with plenty of photographic opportunities. Whether you are a travel photographer, street photographer, portrait or landscape photographer this tour is a feast for everyone.

On all of our tours and workshops, we stay in 4* or higher hotels where possible, often with extra facilities such as spa, health club, restaurants and bar all on site.
