The tiny European town that people say is like a real-life Disney village
NO, this isn't the fictional town from Beauty and the Beast, it's a real and charming village that you can actually visit. With brightly coloured timber houses and window boxes full of flowers, Riquewihr in France has been compared to looking like something from a Disney film. 4 Riquewihr is an Alsatian village with colourful timber houses a hgue clock tower Credit: Alamy 4 The village has been compared to looking like one from a Disney movie Credit: Alamy Riquewihr is a village in the Alsace region known for having a blend of French and German culture resulting in picture perfect communes. These have half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and vineyards. Unlike surrounding towns like Colmar, Riquewihr is much quieter when it comes to high season. While it doesn't have the canals that Colmar does, the town of Riquewihr has been called just as beautiful by visitors. One visitors wrote on Tripadvisor: "This town is so cute you'll think it was made for a Disney movie. we were here at Christmas and it gets EVEN CUTER with the decorations. you won't believe it. i think it's the cutest of all the Alsatian towns." Another added: "Picturesque would be an understatement. It's a fairy tale village that doesn't seem real." You'll find the town between the Vosges mountains and the Alsatian vineyards, which only adds to its beauty. During spring and summer, the village is decorated with colourful flowers. And for Christmas it looks like an advent calendar, set up with seasonal markets and lights hanging between the houses. Venturing around the village, you could take a picture around every corner and admire the 82 foot high Dolder Tower, which is the village's iconic monument.

There are lots of organised vineyard tours around the village, and plenty of wine cellars that sit underneath Riquewihr. Scattered around the village are restaurants, cafes, and shops selling traditional Alsatian pottery, linens, and souvenirs. Another similar village is Eguisheim which has more than once been named as One of the Most Beautiful Villages in France since 2003.

"As you walk its picturesque cobbled streets admiring colourful houses, with pointed roofs and timber-framed facades, you feel like you stepped into a real-life fairytale." For those wanting to visit both Riquewihr and Eguisheim - the villages are just 10 miles apart.

Regina, Si Cara, and seven more places to find Boston's best pizza
.bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Galleria Umberto Galleria Umberto. Craig F. Walker/Globe Staff There are modern, TikTok trend-induced lines, lengthy yet ephemeral — and then there are lines for the ages. The latter camp includes the daily lunchtime lines at Galleria Umberto, the North End pizzeria that has been run by the Deuterio family for decades and won a James Beard 'America's Classics' award. Everyone wants a taste of the famed, fantastic square pizza, made in sheet pans and sold until it runs out for the day. The only choice is to return, and wait again. (Just not in July, when the shop is often closed for vacation.) Address: 289 Hanover Street, North End Phone: Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Parziale's Bakery Parziale's Bakery suzanne kreiter/globe staff Four American dollars will fetch you one of the best slices in the city: the margherita at Parziale, a tiny North End joint often overshadowed by its showier neighbor, Bova's. You may have to fight through the line for that other, more vaunted establishment, but it is worth it: the sauce sings with bright tomato flavor, and the mozzarella cover is generous (it's the good stuff, too). On your way out, snag a perfectly crumbly walnut sandie. Address: 80 Prince Street, North End Phone: Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Picco Picco on Tremont Street in the South End. Lane Turner/Globe Staff Early to the local craft pizza scene and still going strong, Picco specializes in two of the world's perfect foods, which are even better together: pizza and ice cream. (The name is an abbreviation of Pizza & Ice Cream Co.) If you haven't tried these bubbly, chewy, char-crusted beauties, wait no more — it is time for you to order a Picco pie. The cheese pizza, and the sausage, fennel, and ricotta one, are always excellent, but don't miss the white Alsatian, with bacon, gruyere, and shallots — like a tarte flambée, but make it pizza. Address: 513 Tremont Street, South End Phone: Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Pinocchio's Pizza & Subs Pinocchio's Pizza & Subs. Lane Turner/Globe Staff Weave your way through the crush of college students and snag a slice at this iconic counter-service spot off of Harvard Square. Pinocchio's offers subs and thin-crust pizza, but the Sicilian squares are the clear standouts: crispy on the bottom, pillowy on top, and buttery all the way through. The walls are decked with fading photos of famous clients (Mark Zuckerberg's order: a steak-and-cheese sub and a slice of Sicilian cheese), and during the semester, it's open until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Address: 74 Winthrop Street, Cambridge Phone: Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Quattro Quattro. Craig F. Walker/Globe Staff This North End spot from restaurateur Frank DePasquale (Bricco, Mare, and more) serves lobster ravioli, chicken parm, and other classics. But its real specialty is the spot-on authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. The edges are blistered and charred black in spots, the toppings applied with some restraint. The margherita, made with mozzarella di bufala, is pure goodness — but you can also add mushrooms, mortadella with pistachio, and more. Address: 264 Hanover Street, North End Phone: Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Regina Pizzeria Regina Pizzeria. Lane Turner/Globe Staff If you were going to try just one Boston pizza place, Regina Pizzeria would be the right choice. But it has to be the North End branch, producing brick-oven pizza since 1926. These are utterly classic old-school Italian-American pies: crisp, thin crust; a little char at the edges; the right amount of blistering and chew; a union of bright sauce and flavorful cheese. It's fun to wedge into one of the wood booths and soak up the atmosphere, but you can also circumvent the wait by ordering ahead and picking your food up to go. Don't be surprised if someone in the line snaking around the brick building offers to buy it off you as you leave. Address: 11½ Thacher Street, North End Phone: Find online: Related : .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Santarpio's Pizza Santarpio's. Adam DeTour for The Boston Globe. Food styling by Sheila Jarnes. Boston doesn't really have its own style of pizza, but this joint, with more than a century in business, creates a unique pie combining the best of New Haven, New York, and New Jersey's styles. The result is a tangy, saucy masterpiece with an extra crunch from the cornmeal on the crust. The atmosphere is pure Boston with its well-worn booths, gruff servers straight out of central casting, and boisterous locals. There is another location in Peabody. Address: 111 Chelsea Street, East Boston Phone: Find online: .bofbpic img { width: 100%; height: auto; } Si Cara Si Cara. Lane Turner/Globe Staff This Central Square natural wine bar from chef Michael Lombardi (Salty Pig, SRV) specializes in canotto-style pies — a puffy-edged, less rule-bound cousin to Neapolitan pizza. The crust is gloriously tangy sourdough; the toppings are less rule-bound, too. In addition to margherita and pepperoni pies, you'll find combinations such as confit potato with pea tendril, 'nduja, and almond — or fried artichoke with miso cream and preserved lemon. At lunch, there's also pan pizza by the slice.
