Created in 1989, this international festival with a Russian accent is located in the enchanting medieval town of Colmar in the heart of the Alsace region of France. Apart from concerts this year by Vladimir Spivakov, the Russian National Orchestra, Mikhail Rudy, Zoltan Kocsis, Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra, travellers should visit the Unterlinden Museum (1232). A former convent, it now houses works of art dating back to the end of the Middle Ages, notably the Issenheim Altarpiece, painted by Mathias Grunwald in 1515.
