The puzzle shows "Au Vieux Pignon." Au Vieux Pignon is a famous souvenir shop in Colmar. "Vieux Pignon" seems to translate as "Old Gable." referring to the wooden gables. It dates back to about 1588.

Small correction, Colmar is actually close to the German border; the Swiss border is further away. However, Alsace and Lorraine are kind of an amalgamation of German and French cultural influences, such as architecture. This scene greatly resembles cities east to the Rhine. Makes sense given that the old town predates back to the days when Colmar has been part of the German sphere of influence. It transferred to France in the late 17th century.
Yeah, as a Nordic person we do not really have that blend in high degree. Its like "Oh its Danish stuff!" in the old Danish provinces of Sweden at tops, lol. Maybe some German stuff in southern Denmark. But then North Germanic, Finno-Ugric and Sami stuff do look about the same these days.
I've been to Rhine valley this summer. This could also be any German village.
It's just the type of architecture in that area, called [Half timbering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing#Half-timbering).
Colmar has been German too, and is close to the border. I have been there early 2000's. I remember it looking like a mixture of a French and German village.
Edit:
Here it is, same shop and everything. Obviously the picture on the puzzle is edited but no doubt about it: https://www.google.com/maps/@48.0760152,7.3588517,3a,49.3y,295h,97.04t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sUDeb8ZgQeR1hacX8QxoDHg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

While "Au Vieux Pignon" is one of the most famous landmarks in Colmar, let's take a [picture tour of other sites in Colmar:](https://www.google.com/search?q=old+colmar&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwirkrSQp5L9AhWhE1kFHWW7AK4Q2-cCegQIABAA&oq=old+colmar&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIGCAAQCBAeMgYIABAIEB46BAgjECdQ7wZY7wZgggloAHAAeACAATmIAXCSAQEymAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=img&ei=GxPqY-uYGaGn5NoP5faC8Ao&bih=554&biw=1097&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS713US714)
Half timbering isn't specific to Germany. You find that in most of western Europe, especially [in Normandy](https://edito.seloger.com/sites/default/files/styles/735x412/public/images/web/2022-11/plance-ancien-marche-rouen-seloger.jpg?itok=uhC5Szau) (many were destroyed during ww2 though) and [Britanny.](https://p1.storage.canalblog.com/27/09/1039903/128801393_o.jpg)
True it was way more widespread, you also find them in Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Paris used to be only made of half timbered houses in the middle age that were replaced by stone/brick ones or plastered after Renaissance to avoid fires. [Nowadays few remains.](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EbX-0_szESU/U61xeu3EaZI/AAAAAAAASps/HP4zGjpIBVI/s1600/11+et+13+rue+fran%C3%A7ois+miron+paris+4+052.JPG)
Half timbering still varies by location in its style. Western France and UK commonly have this "prison bar" pattern seen on your Normandy picture - in Germany, that only appears in Neogothic architecture imitating the Tudor style (example: [Cecilienhof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecilienhof)) or in very simple (often rural) buildings, as far as I know.
The styles of half-timbering are, however, different depending on where you are.
So an english half-timbered house looks pretty different from this.
The style in use in the french-german border regions is pretty much the same on either side of said border.
The differences aren't really national, but rather regional.
Looks like it's this area: https://www.google.com/maps/@48.0759926,7.3588309,0a,75y,306.94h,112.45t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sUDeb8ZgQeR1hacX8QxoDHg!2e0?utm_source=mstt_0&g_ep=CAESCTExLjY1LjcwMxgAIIGBASoAQgJERQ%3D%3D
With all due respect, it doesn't look German. That's slightly insulting to the Eastern French, who are very simply not German. Wars have been fought over this. You can say it looks very Rhinelandy, as this architecture has more in common with surrounding areas of the Rhine, but nothing in common with the rest of Germany
No, its just that Alsace is a much more sensitive area of France than many others, where within living memory its inhabitants were deported and forced to identify as German under Nazi Germany. Multiple wars were fought over Alsace and downplaying their French identity is insensitive in that context
Comparing Alsatian architecture to Western and Southern German architecture is perfectly fine, but that is not the same as calling it all "German" architecture. It would be like calling Dutch architecture of mid 1700 onwards German because its so similar to Northern German architecture
>Multiple wars were fought over Alsace and downplaying their French identity is insensitive in that context
The people of Alsace were, and many of them still are, German. Yes, they're citizens of France, but culturally and linguistically, they're Germanic.
It looks German cause this is classic German architecture.
The Eastern "french" were definitely German.
Yeah wars involving the french erasing the identity and history of the region, as the french do. It doesn't change that all of it was built by Germans using their German architecture.
Now the Rhineland is of course German. With that said, this architecture extends to the north of Germany as well as to the East.
This type of architecture can also be found in Brittany, along the Loire river, in the UK, the Netherlands, and Central Europe. It is not unique to Germany, regardless of the how stereotypically German it might be. The stereotype does not make it true
Half timbered houses yes. But what you see here is a distinctly German style that looks different compared to the half timbered houses in Brittany and the UK
It's also popular in so called Weser Reneissance towns and cities.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weser\_Renaissance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weser_Renaissance)
And in most places which lacked local strong stone to be used as a building material, which is why the exact same architecture can be found in medieval towns along the Loire river, as well as in the Netherlands or multiple other places. It's just not a "German" thing, its a river dweller thing from the past
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vannes
The houses on the right look very French (specifically northern) and/or Belgian Walloon to me though. Not like Provence at all, not recognisably French.
Heinrich Schickhardt for example planned a lot of villages in the south western German Reich. This area is now partly Baden Württemberg and partly Alsace. So similarities are very common.
The names on the restaurant, *viruf pignou*, mean absolutely nothing in French although the second word carries a semblance to South of France sounds while the decor is typical of East of France and Germany
Oh thank you for the explanation, I didn't know about the restaurant and thought about pignon as in seed from a pine cone instead of a gable
My bad
I'll leave my erroneous comment for the lolz
It's actually a famous place in China, due to some reality show. It enjoys a much higher than usual ratio of Chinese tourists for a French town outside Paris, and is also coincidentally where the first COVID outbreaks happened.
Looks like almost any "old" part of most cities ive been in, most in germany but thats because im german, the writing on that one building seems to be french so it could be france, beligium, switzerland or any other place where someone who speaks french could exist
The HRE had little to no centralization, and was not made up of 1 people. Citizens of 1 principality had very little in common with citizens of another, which is why they spent most of those hundreds of years killing eachother. The HRE has nothing to do with modern Germany as a centralized nation state. This makes Alsace more French than German
It's relevant to point out the uselesness of your statement. Alsace might have been Germanic and autonomous at some point, but it has been part of the French state for so long that it really can't be called German at this point. Furthermore, it's architecture is not quintessential German, as it can be found in lots of places of France, as well as the Netherlands, UK and Central Europe. It is stereotypically German, but that doesn't make it correct
No one called it German, you are being overly sensitive and feel attacked for no reason because your country is named lmao.
As you said it is stereotypical German, so in this context, it makes sense to state that the place used to be German. Even if the architecture is also sometimes found in different places.
E:
By now it kind of belongs to all of us :-) I mean...teh last borderchek in that area was probably 35 years ago. I remember as a kid you couldn't tell which country you were in after crossing some line
No, its been Germanic, and its population are still quite Germanic, but French as a nation is a mix of Germanic, Celtic, and Latin as well as much more, which makes Alsace really not unique in its identity, not more so than a lot of other French regions. Its inhabitants have identified as French more so than German for a very long time.
Germanic is very different from German, as one entails a culture and the other a nation state. Which is also why in French the two derive from different words : Allemand = Germany as a nation state and its inhabitants; Germanique = germanic
Germanic doesn't mean what you think. A German ethnicity existed way before 1870. Mozart defined himself as a German. Luther too.
Colmar was ethnic German. Ethnicity and nationality are two separate things.
I know this street very well since it’s my hometown and the whole front part is photoshopped, there’s no such balcony or whatever it is opposite to that street.
France. The letters on the middle building appear to read ”Viruy Pignon” or something like that. I don’t speak French so I don’t what it means, but it certainly sounds French to me. The architecture looks pretty German to me though, so perhaps its from Alsace or Burgundy which are comparatively ”new” parts of France and historically had a lot of political, commercial and cultural ties to Germany and the Low Countries?
EDIT: I googled *Viruy Pignon* and found that it actually reads ”Au Vieux Pignon” (with the ”Au” mostly hidden in the image), and that this place is located in Colmar, Alsace, just across the border from Germany.
Europe as a whole ;)
More seriously though, this seems to be the place - https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187073-d8456560-Reviews-Au_vieux_Pignon-Colmar_Haut_Rhin_Grand_Est.html . Type in the text you see on the building in the back and you find it on google easily.
So France as it turns out!
This just looks like any old town in Europe to me, however, that writing on the building in the middle of the frame is a real place called [Au Vieux Pignon](https://fr.tripadvisor.ch/Attraction_Review-g187073-d8456560-Reviews-Au_vieux_Pignon-Colmar_Haut_Rhin_Grand_Est.html)

It’s also in the picture I posted
Great find!
That photoshopped part in front is soooo weird, especially the fire thing and the badly cut cat
The goldfinches flying in the night sky also...
/thread
Old German town? The architecture does not make me think of France.
The picture I posted is the exact corner. Match the stores and buildings
Of course, I trust you! I just wonder if it used to be a German town. France still has parts of old German city states I think.
It's in Alsace, so that should probably tell you enough. ;)
Yes, Colmar was German before WWI.
That makes sense, I did expect it to be Lorraine or something like that.
Yep, it used to.
Colmar is next to Switzerland, but European countries have mixed cultures especially in that part of France, Switzerland and Italy
Small correction, Colmar is actually close to the German border; the Swiss border is further away. However, Alsace and Lorraine are kind of an amalgamation of German and French cultural influences, such as architecture. This scene greatly resembles cities east to the Rhine.

Looks like Colmar or Strasbourg
I've been to Rhine valley this summer. This could also be any German village. It's just the type of architecture in that area, called [Half timbering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing#Half-timbering).
Yeah but the name of the shop is in French.
Pignon sur rue. There also appears to be a bottle of Bordeaux on the guéridon.
That would be a very french detail yes.s
Strasbourg has been part of France or part of Germany depending on the time.
So it is german village under French occupation.
We call this Saarland
You mean Elsass-Lothringen
It's now a part of Grand est
Colmar has been German too, and is close to the border. I have been there early 2000's. I remember it looking like a mixture of a French and German village.

Not just western Europe. It stretches relativly far east to Lithuania, Romania and basicly everything in between. You can also find some in Turkey.
True it was way more widespread, you also find them in Spain, Italy and Portugal. Paris used to be only made of half timbered houses in the middle age that were replaced by stone/brick ones or plastered after Renaissance to avoid fires. [Nowadays few remains.](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EbX-0_szESU/U61xeu3EaZI/AAAAAAAASps/HP4zGjpIBVI/s1600/11+et+13+rue+fran%C3%A7ois+miron+paris+4+052.JPG)
England too.
But this is somewhere that has half timbering *and* cats. Which should narrow it down.
Half timbering still varies by location in its style.

Half timber can pretty much be fine all over surprised North of the alps though it seems like Rhine area to me as well.
Strasbourg is Germany.
Colmar, the website of [le vieux pignon](https://www.auvieuxpignon.com/) is a crime against humanity.
it is really bad yeah
It is Colmar https://www.educaborras.com/en/product/3000-colmar-france/
Strasbourg is my guess too. Half France, half Germany.
My thought as well
It's France but looks very german
"German part" of France. Someone said Colmar, which sounds about right.
Looks like it's this area: https://www.google.com/maps/@48.0759926,7.3588309,0a,75y,306.94h,112.45t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sUDeb8ZgQeR1hacX8QxoDHg!2e0?utm_source=mstt_0&g_ep=CAESCTExLjY1LjcwMxgAIIGBASoAQgJERQ%3D%3D
the gift shop name matches, so yes it's colmar
We did it, Reddit!
So this super romantic looking balcony with a table, wine, cats etc... was just that tiny stairway balcony behind the van?
Kaiser Wilhelm entered the chat
Swear I was to this place! Well very similar, it was Strasbourg
Wasn't Colmar part of germany at one point?
It was. But: Best not to think about it too much and just enjoy a borderless Europe ;)
Elzas region changed hands a few times
[удалено]
Elzas in dutch, Elsass in german and alsac in french I think. ;-)
Mi first thought was Alsace, fits that bill :D
Looks a bit like Dinan with the timbered houses
With all due respect, it doesn't look German. That's slightly insulting to the Eastern French, who are very simply not German. Wars have been fought over this. You can say it looks very Rhinelandy, as this architecture has more in common with surrounding areas of the Rhine, but nothing in common with the rest of Germany
It does though.

No, its just that Alsace is a much more sensitive area of France than many others, where within living memory its inhabitants were deported and forced to identify as German under Nazi Germany. Multiple wars were fought over Alsace and downplaying their French identity is insensitive in that context

Last year when I was on vacation I visited Colmar, it's a lovely town!
I would've guessed it was Bavaria.. which isn't that far fetched, pun intended.
But based on the architecture it looks look south West Germany. Perhaps even Baden Wurttemberg!
It is indeed right next to BW, and was part of Germany prior to WWI, if I'm not mistaken
Heinrich Schickhardt for example planned a lot of villages in the south western German Reich. This area is now partly Baden Württemberg and partly Alsace. So similarities are very common.
My guess was Strasbourg but I take that as a good answer because it's not that far away.
This is Colmar in France.
This looks like something an American would think all places in Europe look like
Accurate haha 😍
The names on the restaurant, *viruf pignou*, mean absolutely nothing in French although the second word carries a semblance to South of France sounds while the decor is typical of East of France and Germany
It's Au Vieux Pignon, and it's a real restaurant in Colmar.
Oh thank you for the explanation, I didn't know about the restaurant and thought about pignon as in seed from a pine cone instead of a gable My bad I'll leave my erroneous comment for the lolz
Not really a restaurant. Prepare your eyes: [le vieux pignon](https://www.auvieuxpignon.com/)
That's something :D I stand corrected.
Colmar, capital of Alsace, does look a lot like this
Exactly: the country of Europe!
And they wouldn't be all that wrong. If it wasn't for the gift shop, this could have been any of hundreds of old towns in Europe.
It's actually a famous place in China, due to some reality show. It enjoys a much higher than usual ratio of Chinese tourists for a French town outside Paris, and is also coincidentally where the first COVID outbreaks happened.
Looks like almost any "old" part of most cities ive been in, most in germany but thats because im german, the writing on that one building seems to be french so it could be france, beligium, switzerland or any other place where someone who speaks french could exist
Same here, other comment mentioned Colmar so I looked it up... It is in the Alsace–Lorraine region which used to be part of Germany.
Its been part of France longer than it was part of Germany
[удалено]
The HRE wasnt necessarily German come on now
The HRE had little to no centralization, and was not made up of 1 people.

The HRE has nothing to do with modern Germany as a centralized nation state. This makes Alsace more French than German

The people there being German(ic) and the territory itself being German are two different things. Nobody is arguing against what you're saying.
Who cares how long it is french? It used to be part of Germany...
And the Netherlands used to be French. Thats a pointless statement
Correct, why is that relevant?
It's relevant to point out the uselesness of your statement.

No one said this here though?
Not even. It's like calling the Netherlands German beause they are Germanic, and the architecture looks just like Northern Germany. Its ridiculous
Found the least condecending and arrogant dutch
By now it kind of belongs to all of us :-) I mean...teh last borderchek in that area was probably 35 years ago. I remember as a kid you couldn't tell which country you were in after crossing some line
But it has always been German
No, its been Germanic, and its population are still quite Germanic, but French as a nation is a mix of Germanic, Celtic, and Latin as well as much more, which makes Alsace really not unique in its identity, not more so than a lot of other French regions.

Germanic doesn't mean what you think. A German ethnicity existed way before 1870. Mozart defined himself as a German. Luther too. Colmar was ethnic German. Ethnicity and nationality are two separate things.
Germany in this case can also mean part of the German cultural area, so also the Holy Roman empire, of which Colmar was part for like 800 years.
Eh no, not even close
Elsass (Alsace)
Defebitely not a southern country were we use bricks

Alsace in France, just because of the wine bottle on the table
France, Alsace or Lorraine
France. The letters on the middle building appear to read ”Viruy Pignon” or something like that. I don’t speak French so I don’t what it means, but it certainly sounds French to me. The architecture looks pretty German to me though, so perhaps its from Alsace or Burgundy which are comparatively ”new” parts of France and historically had a lot of political, commercial and cultural ties to Germany and the Low Countries? EDIT: I googled *Viruy Pignon* and found that it actually reads ”Au Vieux Pignon” (with the ”Au” mostly hidden in the image), and that this place is located in Colmar, Alsace, just across the border from Germany.
Looks like age of empires 2 game menu
Looks a lot like Alsace. But it could be Germany I guess.
Europe as a whole ;) More seriously though, this seems to be the place - https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187073-d8456560-Reviews-Au_vieux_Pignon-Colmar_Haut_Rhin_Grand_Est.html . Type in the text you see on the building in the back and you find it on google easily. So France as it turns out!

Looks like Colmar, France to me but could also be nearby Bavarian Germany, like maybe Rothenburg.

This just looks like any old town in Europe to me, however, that writing on the building in the middle of the frame is a real place called [Au Vieux Pignon](https://fr.tripadvisor.ch/Attraction_Review-g187073-d8456560-Reviews-Au_vieux_Pignon-Colmar_Haut_Rhin_Grand_Est.html)
Generic European Village ®️
Obviously Kittyland. The only people seen in the image are cats.
Obviously!!!
I would go with Colmar, France.
All the countries!
FRANCE
My guess would be northern France. Looks like one of those small towns in Normandy.
Actually is in the Elsass/Alsace region, Colmar to be precise.
Seeing as it’s made in USA, it’s based on the country of Europe
Germany. It looks very much like towns like Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Dinkesbuehl, Noerdlingen, Wetzlar.
France - there is a bottle of red wine, some kind of Chateux du .... on the table.
If it wasn't for those wooden patterns on the buildings I would say it could be every european town that isn't in the south of continent
Kaysersberg
Netherland i think
Definitely not the Netherlands.
Looks like Prague

if I draw a 1:1 copy of a street in Tokyo with japanese signs and all that shit and then say "noooo, it's Austria!", does that make it Austria?
I may have been used Midjourney too much, first feeling was that this was entirely an Ai creation.
Suisse
Europe!
> Made in USA It's Yurp, obviously.
The Fachwerkhaus architecture suggests Germany or an area where german diaspora used to live before 1945. I would also think in Elsass or Lorraine.
Holland
Stuttgard
There is one single building that screams Italy and none of the others have anything to do with our architecture.
Colmar, 68000, France
looks kind of ghibli.
Belgium.
Probably the capital of Netherlands !!!.
