Colmar Tropicale - A French Themed Resort in Malaysia

Inspired by beauty of 16th century architecture of Colmar, a commune in the Alsace region in north-eastern France, a French architect has recreated its design in a Malaysian resort known as "Colmar Tropicale".

Colmar, France is renowned for the architectural beauty of well preserved medieval houses in its old town and is considered by many to be the most beautiful city in Europe, if not in the World (pictured below). No wonder the French call it "La Petit Venice". (Link for more images and description of Colmar)
